The Journey with Poem Never Ends
Still remember how frustrated I am to figure what to write about for a poem; still remember When I wrote an interesting poem, I can hardly wait to share it with others; still remember I walk among the wriggle road in the woods to seek for a wisp of inspirations; still remember there are... Lots of memories converge to a odd and strange feeling; I can’t tell if it is the happiness of finishing the project; or the disappointed about how fast this progress end, but there are one thing that I am really sure--My journey with poems will never end. Whenever I get inspired by maybe only a really small thing in my daily life, such as a different cloud shape, a joyful color, even a piece of falling leaf, I will grab a pen and write down a poem which contains my emotion, inspiration, feelings and dreams. Sometimes I will also take out the poem I write to reread it and review my old dream; it is a special way for me to contain my memories. The habit of writing poems gradually becomes apart of my daily life before I have noticed. It sticks to me silently without any herald which makes a question emerged in my heart: What happen during these 30 days which change my attitude from seeing poem writing as a writing to a custom of my daily life?
“Hello darkness my old friend...No!...The darkness comes silently..No!” The corpse of scrap paper pile up a small hill on the table, but the only words written on the paper is a title called “Hello Darkness”. Up to now, I still remember how frustrated and despair I was at the first day of the 30 day challenge. As I said in the blog post 2, it is such a huge challenge for me who have never written any poem in English and giving up writing poems for years. Because of the neglect on poems writing, I gradually lost the eyes of finding subtle details in our life and the nose for the odor of inspirations. Staring at the blank sheet of paper, I felt nothing in my mind; dim lights of the lamp on the corner of the table formed a barrier which isolated me out of the world. As the night falling, the lights became brighter and brighter; fortunately, the seed of poetry didn’t wither in my mind, but only needed more time to grow up. I squeezed out word by word and pieced together my first poem. I couldn't say that I never thought about giving up and change a new challenge at that night, but I was glad that I persevered in it. I know the seed will bloom into the most beautiful flower.
I walked past the creepiest way in the woods, I squatted among the grass and observed the blooming of an immature flower, I looked up to the sky to record the shape of the cloud every now and then, I standed besides the pound quietly to find the trace of the biggest fish. After several blog post, I started to hold the knack of writing about poems. Lots of theme and inspirations is needed for me to create poems. Therefore, I choose to pay more attention to the environment around me, observed them, described them, and eulogized how amazing there are. That was the formula for me to create a poem. However, I felt there were still something missing and a question appeared in my mind: What should I do after I run out of the themes to write about? Nonetheless, I retrieved the eyes which opened a more vivid world for me; I can feel the seeding is become bigger and stronger day after days.
Running out of theme, soon became the biggest problem to me. After days of seeking, I found out the most important thing for my poems which I used to ignore-- my emotions and feelings. It is like the soul for a poem; with that I can write thousands of poem about cloud without any repeat, because I have different feelings for each one of them that’s why they are different. I don’t need to worried about what to write, and the way of writing poems became an instinct to me. There was no nee to me to write a poem for an assignment called 30 day challenge, but a way of expressing my feelings everyday. I can see that the seeds finally become the most beautiful flower in my mind.
All in all, 30 day challenge witness the found of my habits of writing poems. Although, it seemed to end, the habit of writing poems still stays with me, and become a really important part of my life. I feel rejoice that I didn’t give at that night and I know the flower in my mind will keep blooming and accompany me to the end of my life. My journey with poems never end!
