I have always written mostly depressing poems because I find them easier to write. However, through my muse, I am able to spark new and exciting ideas from my imagination... instead of just from life experience. I love the fact that anything is possible with poetry. When we were introduced to lies and secrets in class, it just added to the endless creations available to me through writing. I particularly love Emily Dickinson and her use of these inclinations. I have always enjoyed morose and macabre detail in poetry, and her work continually gives me new ideas for my own. I have also found that during our “cutting the fat” sessions, I am given the opportunity to expand my ideas. By cutting the fat, I can add more intricate detailing. I do find it hard to use both intricate detail and rhyming, but when they are combined, I find the best poems can be created.
