Copy Kat

it's only words

I want to stop..
using the same
words.
I'm becoming..
a plaigarist,
my vocabulary..
wears thin. 
I've transparent.
visability,

I want to avoid
repetition of,
the repetition...
that's it,
if you've noticed..
I am my own
best critic,
it's idiotic,
and a little
narcasistic,
don't you think..?

I want to stop
using the same
words,
in 'other'  words,
my thread is bare
of originality..
which is
un unique,
if there exists
such a thing...
so to speak.

The fish of the sea

Hi Pauline, man can I relate! To be honest, I am really clutching at straws myself... I come up with new material and then think... no this is so "Generic of me". I totally agree with the "Own biggest critiqics" but sometimes, refocusing on our past work isn`t about being unoriginal, but simply forming and reforming our way of poetry! A great learning experience in my opinion... but then again... I think I have lost myself in this train of thought.... hope its not as confusing for you!!! Fantastic poetry as always. I can relate. (on the message that is XD)

Aah yes those moments when we just can’t seem to squeeze out anything that feels like it has fresh substance. I do love Cosmo for inspiration as well as sharing my poetry. Read read and read more of all the works you can on here. People inspire me every day. I am not writing as prolifically right now but I am absorbing plenty from those who post and discussing poetry can also trip the fuse box of thought back into play 

A good write here. I think we all hit these moments 

Gwen :)
