Posing as a Posy

'cheeky', yes, I know I do it too...

Does it really matter if your poetry makes sense

mix it all together, throw in a bunch of metaphors

let everyone else do the work and figure it out

if you've got writer's block maybe it's your brain

telling you to stop thinking in similes

sometimes a garden is just a bed of flowers

 and not some woman's posy

Reviews

[Yellow Butterfly]

Absolutely Brilliant piece here Fp :O)

If I was to write a poem for my review it would have all the ingredients you've mentioned and would read like this..

She is a singer, song writer, a mother too
Very similar I would say are the both you
Writing songs about life as she knows it
Writing your poetry that bites the bullet
Written words to thought provoke and test
Just like her song you are truly simply the best!

Oh dear I'm sure there's something else I wanted to say
Seems that pesky writers block has caught me up today

Lol I've remembered ..Great work Fp have a nice day! :O)

[Frieda P]

Lol is that a rap? :-)

[Yellow Butterfly]

Hahahaha..... yep.... lol :O)

[Frieda P]

I hope you're the one singing, I'm tone deaf I think! ;-P

[Yellow Butterfly]

lol :O)

I try very hard to be as unambiguous in my writing as possible, so, every now and again, when I stumble upon a piece that makes me sit back and scratch my head and scroll through the other reviews just to see what the hell the damn thing is supposed to mean, I just have to shake my head a little. Really clever observations ;-)

And, holy cats...

[Frieda P]

Not to be creepy, or creepy, whichever is your preference at the moment, I can just picture you sitting back, saying this..and holy cats, it's fookin funny!

[Rob Santana]

You rang???

[Frieda P]

Hahahahaha, should have known!!

[Rob Santana]

;)

[KAOlmsted]

Ha! Just because I am right now, in this moment, in serious secret lust with him, does not mean I always know what the hell he is talking about xD

;-)

[Rob Santana]

hahahahaha

[KAOlmsted]

Oh...*laugh* I didn't even see Rob there...that is too fookin funny...

[Frieda P]

Oh brother, don't tell him that, he'll score you and have you for his next bb'q!

[Frieda P]

Ha who the fook were you tawkin about? ;-)

[KAOlmsted]

HA...I love Rob (love you Rob) to death but I was speaking of another ;-)

[KAOlmsted]

My connection must be slow...I was speaking of the Shirtless One...

[Frieda P]

Oh you carried over...no math on my thread please, it gives me a headache ;-)

[Emerald Seas]

I think all of our writings are interpreted slightly different by the reader. Many times I don't have a clue what someone was getting at in their poetry. I'll read it a few times and if still at a loss I will either skip the review or pluck a line or two that I find relatable and comment on the section, rather than the whole piece.
I write fairly plainly and I think many still misinterpret where I am coming from, but if they can relate to it from their perspective or experience, then that is still a good thing. I prefer readers to grasp from their own perspective than trying to understand where I am coming from in any given piece anyway ;)

[Frieda P]

Yes I totally get that, it's all in the perspective poet's eye....even if it IS a posy, they might see it differently....I feel once it's out of my hands, the reader can go with it where they wish, I kind of like when someone puts a whole new spin on it, letting me see it in a whole new light...thanks so much Sera. :-)

[beautiful dreamer]

nicely done frieda and good point!

[Frieda P]

this is what happens when I talk to myself ;-P

[beautiful dreamer]

[Horizon K.]

haha... too funny... do I need to decipher this one? Make me want to write a mumbo jumbo review for this posy posing poet to figure out herself...

[Frieda P]

Hell, I couldn't even say it three times fast..'posy posing poet'! ;-)

[SimpleMind]

'if you've got writer's block maybe it's your brain'

Ohw~ I plead guilty XD

Such a very strong poem. I enjoyed reading this one. Now I know who can cure me if I get writer's block again.

[Frieda P]

Yes, you! Ha, thanks for the review SuperbMinded. ;-P

[kublakhan27]

Priceless, and very comforting at the same time...

Those words remind me of you! :-)

[kublakhan27]
