    abstract, obviously 'word-driven' stuff

    because I'm so into music

    my written stuff's spare, rhythmic, but not melodic; as I listen/work with so much melody in audio, I think I'm subconciously worried about cross-contamination, I go the other way from full-on explanations in my writing

    whereas my taste in music's mainly base: bass-driven sensual/sexual lyrics & rhythms, obvious & loud, I think my writing style's height: thought-driven, academic/esoteric lyrics & rhythms, subtle, without ground...

    not music, poetic!

    Your style in poetry reminds me a lot of the work of polly filla! In other words you have a pretty unique style which people love. But then... I might be just sucking up!

        Well everyone seems to think you are good. I'm just a natural born suckerer-uper.

          "everyone"



          I take that as a compliment tho', so thanks!

          anyway Ara', how would you describe your style of writing?

            I'd describe my style as "mood-driven". And "all over the place".

                Trouble is my moods are usually dark and shitty...

                  not always! your mood's mainly light & chatty here!

                  (always look on the bright side of life *whistles* )

                  funny, because my writing's quite depressed, with apocalyptic tones, yet in real life, I'm light & chatty, with frivolous tones

                  I must keep it all in

                    I try to be light and chatty here on the boards out of respect for others.

                    Who wants a misery wart dragging them down?

                    But my poetry comes from deep down inside and is who I really am.

                      oh

                      I don't try to be light & chatty; if I feel down, I just keep away from people until I feel happier

                          it gets similar results to yours, but it's easier on the self

                          I don't see the point in carrying guilt for the way I feel...misery loves company, and I'm an unsociable bastard!

    I was trying to build a bridge to the next poem when the struts started rhyming
