When first assigned this writing topic I immediately thought about the inspiration to my writings. It was easy to look at the poems I write and say that the person I was writing to was my inspiration. But, I had no real inspiration to in class writings. So, an essay on that would be very bland. But, the way that I wrote in class writings was something I could pour my soul into. The way I approach the topic is fairly sporadic. I try to do some form of organized pre-write to help me cut down the time it takes for m final project but it just doesn't materialize.
As far as I can remember, I have always wrote the same way. I would just sit down one night and let go. Minor editing as I went along and, "BLAM", I was finished. I would try to do some revision but the revision always took away from the voice of my work. The only thing that keeps the way that I write from one paper to the next is the unpredictable nature in which I write. .
One of the poems that I am most proud of is one that I wrote to my girlfriend after she had left for college because it gives so much of my emotion that was in me at the time. I know it is not an assigned writing but it shows the passion that comes with my writing once I set forth to do it. here was no trying to edit it or keep feelings I had inside bottled up. I just poured my heart into this piece and this is what came out. I have written better pieces. But, this one is to someone that is special to me. And, it shows the current inspiration to my writings. I was able to get a lot said in a little period of space without sacrificing the flow and voice of my work. This is just one of many I have written but, one I am very proud of.
Got Away.
There are always some things in life that we leave undone.
Still true in that, we always miss someone.
Through years of living and learning I have come to know that that is something we will all do.
But, I never wanted to look back and say that about you.
