Really enjoy your use of imagery in particular.
And I mean your literal imagery, the way you space your picture choices within the post. The girl in the diner and the TV really do a lot to 'break up' the sections and just add an extra element to the whole piece. Ties it together quite nicely.
What was the emotional inspiration behind this piece? It reads as if you're writing about dealing with depression or just a general numbness but I'd love to hear what you actually had in mind when working on it.
Upvoted and followed, would love to have you stop by and get your input on my latest piece ! Can't wait to hear your thoughts :)
Thank you for your wonderful feedback. The photos felt very much like they belonged with this piece of writing, glad to know you agree. Placing is important also, of course.
The writing itself speaks of depression, in particular a recent bout. Having been writing for some time now this was the first I sat through an episode of it and took notes so to speak. Whilst no means through it yet, the worst of the dark feelings passed by, and this was the result. Almost from the perspective of me looking at myself outwardly back in at myself.
I'd be happy to drop by your post when I get a chance, and share my thoughts with you.
You're so very welcome, and you've definitely given me something to think about when it comes to my next poem!
I'm sorry to hear you were feeling depressed, though I'm happy to hear you were able to take the negativity of that emotion and turn it into something positive by means of this poem. The best way to deal with negative emotions in my experience is to challenge them into something healthy. Just think, if it hadn't been for that bout of depression, you may have never wrote this poem.
In any case, I'm glad you're feeling better and I'm looking forward to you (hopefully) enjoying my piece as well : )
The feeling of depression comes and goes. It's usually made worse by me pretending I feel fine when I actually don't. That was the feeling - the realisation - that lead to this particular piece. Knowing the wave always bottoms out and rises again. Its done that for a long time now, so why fight it. Perhaps learn from it.
I can be very productive in the good periods. This is a rare case when i have been productive in the darker days. I take this as a good sign, a sense of maturity regarding feeling depressed. It doesn't own me, just shares my journey on some days.
Thanks again for your thoughtful comments :)
