The Remix

This is not a poem.

Ok so, I was looking over a lot of my poetry (if you've been to this site... unlikely... you'll notice most of the poems are not on here anymore) and found them really lame and unoriginal. Prof. Inguito was right, everyone writes about the same thing. So I've deleted that little blurb that started this whole thing out that outlined my project, and I've decided to create this new remix of my project.

Here are the rules...

Every poem I write in here is going to be inspired by a person in my life. They could be someone really significant to me, or even just people in passing, classmates, teachers etc. I might not always specify who. In this fashion, I hope to create a crowd of people through poetry. Hopefully, the feeling that will ensue will be one of meeting people through my eyes, walking around in my world. After all, I consider myself a people person. After each poem I'll write a very brief reflection on who it is the poem came from and how it came, because if this all goes according to plan, you won't always be able to decipher who it's about, considering it could be intimate relatives to me or total strangers.

Enjoy

I had an idea. Since Blogger likes to put new posts on top (for good reason), I'd rather not spoil the entire poem just because you saw the reflection first. So what I'm going to do is leave the reflection in the comments section, and you can read it if you want some insider information on who the poem is about, the process, whatever I felt like writing about it.

If not, well then you just get a nifty collection of poems, plus these two lame interjections titled "the remix".

Actually I'm going to paste this in the first post. I'm workin out the kinks, slowly but surely. Maybe we'll get some pictures up in this piece as well
