Suddenly last night, I just had to start creative-writing just before bedtime. (Please don't ask me why. I have no reason at all. I just had to grab a pen and paper, and words came into my head.) It had been quite a while since such an urge came to me. It was a surprise, but a nice one, even though I was extremely tried this afternoon because of very little sleep.
And I just finished a poem now. The idea had been in my head for a week or so, and I thought that it would remain as just an idea. But suddenly it developed into 9 lines last night, and then into 12 lines this morning, and eventually into 15 lines. It's amazing that I had no control over this urge, which entered inside my head like a uninvited visitor. If anyone tell me to write a poem, I can't. If I decide to write one, I can't. I can write, only when this uncontrollable urge comes from nowhere all of sudden.
So, I'm in a very happy mood for a change. I might want to edit it a bit later this week. But for now it's complete. Not sure if it's comprehensible to other people. But who cares, it's done and I feel good.
and where can read that poem?
ReplyDeleteI have the same problem even if I have to get thing done, I can do things only when I inspired.
Unfortunately (or fortunately?), I'm still working on it. Even after writing this blog and going into bed last night, I had to sit up and fix a few parts of the poem... (Yes, a pen and paper are always on the bedside table.) It's maddness (and I feel as if sleepwalking this morning). Now it looks better, but for a public viewing it still needs polishing.
