Re:Growing into Your Pen - 02/19/2007
I can relate. I too, beleive that with time, age ,experience, and knowledge that any true poet will see a progression in their art. Vocabulary alone will change form and texture. Add to this a spiritual and emotional growth and change is inevitable. Sometimes not always for the good. I beleive that life expeirences can leave our work jaded, due to politically correct form. We began to worry about grammer rather than motivation. We tend to neglect the timeless need for a muse, therefore our work can become repetative and cold. As an adolescent my work was neither uniformed or controled, yet those poems are the ones I hold dearest to my heart, for they were filled with the passion that only those years could afford. I feel my work today is more reflection than in the moment. Therefore the marrow of life and the work is weakened.
