within this wall



within this wall
I built for myself
I was safe...

or so I thought

naive.

No wall is safe
stars
can pass through walls...

Stars sometimes
bring tears and moments
When you forget

there is a wall

a star can put a hole
so deep,...
especially when you let it

though
that star broke my wall
I was happy

Because it shone for me

It doesn't matter
if it did not last longer

It doesn't matter
because I saw something
beautiful outside my wall...

How to Become A Thiller Writer

Image
Alright, not exactly a how to but at least some points to remember that might be helpful to those who are trying to make it through to the world of published authors. This is something that I just stumbled upon a few hours ago and decided might be worth writing a recap here in case I finally do get the nerve and the motivation to write something.    This is probably something that all aspiring fiction writers can take note of, not just thriller writers but writers of all genre. Some might be applicable, some may not.    According to Janet Reid , or at least according to the notes she took from a thriller seminar she attended, the following are the characteristics that usually make a good thriller book. It's either a book focused on one of the listed characteristics or all of them. CONCEPT: The speaker cited Jurassic Park as a good example for this. How many other books have we read which took us in right from the start because of some exciting concept? It coul...

A Review of Joshua Mehigan's Essay - " I Thought You Were a Poet"

Image
I knew I was never going to be a poet the day I chose to be happy.  source: canva.com Joshua Mehigan's essay -  "I thought You Were a Poet"  - just confirmed that. Winner of Poetry Foundation's editor's prize for feature article, he talked about the seemingly psychotic behaviors of popular poets throughout the centuries which seemed to be the main attracting element that poets had for the public that embraced them. The mysterious eccentricities that made them both repulsive and intriguing. How many poets have you actually known by the poems that they wrote? Isn't it more like reading their biographies first or hearing about their many women or drinking habit or in the end how they killed themselves. And then you want to read their poetry to see whether the stories are true.    As if out of those verses you could watch an HD version of their lives. Joshua Mehigan started his essay with an interpretation of Dryden...

A cheesy love poem

I have promised you some verses, which up until now I haven't done. It's not because you don't inspire me, it's more because I only write poetry when there are things I cannot say, and with you I can say and share everything. You have my heart and with it is my poetry.  ↞⇼↠ Te Quiero, Carino I don't know if you'll ever find this page Perhaps not. I'd prefer that. Because these verses They don't come near to expressing The depth of what I feel for you. It's so cliché. It's hard to find words unique Which will only mean you. I promise to write another one Something that could rival the beauty of the sunset But perhaps If I try that It will take a lifetime. Then I'll just read it to you When we're both 90 and weak in the knees Although being weak in the knees That doesn't have anything to do With being 90, it's when you're around. Perhaps we'll get our grandson to read it Because by then we'll be wea...
