What's Your Favourite Thing To Write About?

Common themes i enjoy writing about has been through experiences of hatred,angst and frustration.

Along with life and death.

Allows me to listen to my inner wounded child and immerse myself

Into his world to make sense of my past.

While,I written about the same topic for past 7 years,I find that because my writing comes from past experiences,I'm able to appreciate the person I am becoming,not who I became.

Fairy tales and mythology pretty much for me. Anything that feels other worldly and magical is my jam.

Life experiences, particularly relationships. Not just romantic, but platonic and familial too. I admire poets that can fashion stories out of thin air, but I'm not one of them.

Love, the moon, nature and grief are things that often appear in my poems. On the other hand I don't think there is anything I wouldn't write about if I got inspired or felt that I had to get it off my chest. I like to write poems about people sometimes I let them know sometimes I leave them guessing. I read energies so often I see people in the shape of the energy they give out. And that can turn into poems to.

I think contrast comes up in a lot of my work. Sad poems have an element of moving on, happy poems have an underlying sense of impending danger, reminiscent poems touch on being locked in the past.

All in all I like to explore relationships a lot in my writing. I had a professor whose poetry often came back to death. So much that he’d often apologize at readings for bumming everyone out!

I always tend to write about human emotions, especially love and grief. I always draw metaphors from nature. I feel that makes the poem more intimate :-)

I'm a terrible romantic. Love and lust are very common themes for me. Nature also... and philosophical thoughts too I suppose :)

I find I often write about different aspects of Nature, especially birds. We get lots of birds in the garden and this inspires me to write about them. Sometimes an event such as COVID19 provides inspiration.
