Writing III

The ideas and motivation,

Turn into persistent habit;

Creating an interpretation

By scraping out the facets.

Two lungs, two eyes,

A heart and some teeth,

Boasting with words, supposedly wise;

Pondering about the underneath.

Acquainting the exhaust,

For a break, no good cause,

A life of one with relentless ambition.

A chamber with a door

Was it there before?

To sacrifice your self-recognition.

-D.F.

made another part because i felt like it

#

@atomic wadi I tried to include some of your suggestions, it kind of says it indirectly, rather than directly in the tercets (:

#

also i am living off of a coffee right now and its 1 am so don't mind any weird and unfitting expressions

Well, it could be that the writing process has already been covered in the other structures, as I was expecting something new. That's not a reason to say I thought it was awful, because I enjoyed it.

It sounded quite subtle, simple, like an artistic process - in fact, this one, thanks to the second stanza, sounded more like a painting being drawn than a piece of writing. It's quite unique.

Writing III

Vitalizing ideas and inspiration,

Turns into persistent habit;

Constructing an interpretation

By scraping out buried facets.

Composed of two lungs, two eyes,

A cool heart and sharp teeth,

Boasting with words, supposedly wise;

Pondering about the underneath.

Acquainting the exhaust,

For a break, no good cause,

A life of one with incessant ambition.

To write means to plague,

To produce and to make,

To forfeit your self-recognition.

-D.F.

@cold terrace an edited version. what do you think?

It consolidates a new denotation, a slender musicality, the changes made, however subtle, make all the difference when it comes to being able to externalize what is being expressed.

#

The first two stanzas are an example of this, granting a more heavenly tone, endowed with resonance for those who seek to write. You managed to change what you needed to with excellence.

Wow, your poem is really thought-provoking. It seems to be about the complexities of life, the pressure to succeed, and the search for deeper meaning.
