Reading Response Week 4

Subject

It is hard to sit down and write about something. Strange right? I mean it's hard to sit down and write a perfect, meaningful poem in one sitting. Most of the time I don't even make any sense when I write and have no point in mind when I start writing. It's usually from boredom or lack of anything better to do. I never really feel inspired. I write to write. I rarely show anyone what I write unless I have to. I do not have a method or usually a topic in mind. If I try to have a topic in mind it comes out sounding cliche. Especially when your dating someone new or something terrible has happened I end up with pointless emo poems. I think the Juggling technique is really good to avoid emo poetry. It takes the topic out of context so that it's not just about the emotion. There is a new layer of depth and meaning behind it.
