I have to admit, several times lately I have written a piece of work and it has at some point been published in a paper or magazine or online etc and it has caused a flurry of worried texts and e-mails as to my state of mind at the point of writing. I do feel my work is created from within but it's also a subjective observation or comment on any given subject.
To say it's actually how i am feeling or that it's something I need to say on a personal level is not really the way I work. I enjoy taking on a subject close to my heart and speaking outwardly about it but I don't (thankfully) go through every single emotion described in my work and I am, I must admit taken aback by comments i receive from people afraid that i am about to jump from the forth bridge in a barrel while drinking arsenic!.
Poetry for me is a social comment, its a mouthpiece for subjects seldom aired, it's a short story or a piece of pure fantasy, it's as simple as that, sometimes it does relate to my feelings at any one given moment but I find mostly I can write while detached from the subject at a personal level. I guess it's the product of a vivid imagination and inspiration to put thoughts to paper and enjoy whatever it is you are writing about.
I hope people who read this blog have gained at least some comfort or pleasure in my works, I enjoy writing and am discovering myself through the input to the blog page much more-so than i would through single publications from time to time in newspapers and books, i guess that's the wonder of the internet for you !
