What Brought Your Poetic Side? by RuuDie(m): 1:41pm On May 15, 2007 |
was never a literature student all thru my skool yrs; never seriously started writing poems until my IT yr -- btw 2nd & 3rd yr in the polyteknic -- the poetic side of me emerged as a result of a heartbreak & way too much time spent in a high-rise overlooking the Atlantic on Marina. when & how did u discover ur flair for writing poems & when d u write ur 1st full poem (if u can still remember)? |

I've always written poems basically about my puppylove years when I was still much younger. However, when I was in 200L and my sis just joined me in UNIBEN, studying theatre arts, I just borrowed this book on poetry from her and it changed my life forever. |

what do you like to write about & where do you like to write ? i mostly get my inspiration from lines i see on song titles, lyrics, books etc. and i can write just about anywhere - i remember travelling from Ago-iwoye to Lagos in a bus and just scribbling down stuff in my "rhyme book" all thru the trip ! |

guess it was tha rude awakening from reading my first pacesetters (The Intruder, Death Is A Woman etc) as a Primary 3 pupil after having "ate" my way through all the Marvel, DC, Beanos Comics around and having lottsa of free time on my hands. @ruudie, nice post |

Hey bro, promised to check out your works , sorry i havent, but let me answer this quick question of yours, I have been writing since i was a kid as a matter of fact i think it was something i was born with, i play with words so easily, believe me there are some words i hear or see for the first time and i just comprehend their meanings, by sheer guessing, dont know why that happens, doesnt always happen though, this is a 2 out of 5, occurrence. When i was in sec sch.(boarding house) i had this book in which i scribbled and one day after some melancholic matters, i just threw the whole book into a bucket o' water, Some peeps tell me i shoulda studied literature or shumtin, but it doesnt even prick me as a thot. Anyways before i go on sermonizing, i think you'd find that we all have some elements of literature in us, how and when we express those elements is another matter. |
