well, I'm going to try writing a few haiku this month -- 31, as a matter of fact...one added each day to the initial deviation (if it keeps showing up in your in-box, this is why).

:iconlaurence55: and :iconsolarts: passed the idea on to me, which was (I believe, anyhow) initially propagated by :iconiscariot-priest:. For a full list of participants, visit his page. And join in, if you'd like ;)

Hello mr. gentleman, I read your stuff and it is quite deep, for lack of a word. My writting is more modern, I write lyrics in a rap format. Check my gallery out and give some constructive criticism if you have the time. I liked the piece in your journal, you do have a great talent, by writting in a few words what people take a page to convey. I wish you success!!

Focus on GOD! Don't take criticism to heart and compliments to your head, and you'll remain grounded. Better to be lifted up to the position of a king, than forcefully taking it...

Lovely how we all find our way in and out of this literary world. Your first poem is quite profound for such a young age.
I'm glad you've grown to love writing.

I wrote my first poem/song during a random Recess in third grade. It was about chopping off your head and bodily functions. I actually submitted it out of boredom [link]

We had a couple of poetry units in elementary school, but none of them exactly got me excited enough to pursue a literary hobby on my own time. Then 7th grade came and I went to a completely new school in the US, and almost lost my ability to talk because I was so shy. I've had this kind of speech impediment, stuttering, all my life, but it didn't really kick in fully until that year, when I was so afraid to let anybody hear me speak. So as a result, few people actually got to know me, and if I found it too difficult to express myself with words, I figured I could just go write everything out. It was all prose & aimless journals back then. We had a poetry unit in English at the end of the year which planted the main foundation for my poetry. And then in 8th grade, we wrote a poem in LA about what we percieve a "utopia" to be, and that was the poem that really got me excited about poetry. I started writing in my freetime since then, or in the middle of history class when where I'd suddenly just have an avalanche of thoughts bouncing up and down in all directions in my head and I wouldn't be able to understand anything until I penned a poem. That was also the year where the speech impediment drove me nuts and I just went ahead and spoke & discovered how easy it was.

So basically writing was an emotional release that helped me understand myself & my surroundings better and I've written for just about two years now. I think I do visual arts just as much now.

Sounds like a lovely book...and I'm to the bookstore later today. When I was 9 a writing professor from a local university visited my classroom and had us write poems inspired by scenes found in magazines. I chose one of men walking on the moon that went: "The sky is dark / there are no stars / they've all been wished away." I haven't written in iambs much since then. Then I wrote a pretty bad book of poetry, then didn't write anything for about 10 years, and returned to it when I fell in love, and returned to it more deeply when that love fell apart, and really fell down the rabbit hole as I started to listen more closely to the sound of the world passing through me. Motivation is often one of record -- applying the H. uncertainty principle and catching thoughts in apt configurations.

What about you?
