So my name is Amanda (though you'll notice I sign out as 'Sparky', a nickname I'm fond of), and apparently I have decided to join the world of blogging.
Mainly my goal here is provide for myself a convenient and easily accessible place for my poetry and "poetic musings" (as I call them) as I produce them. I want to use this as a means of storage, back-up of my work, and a chronology and anthology of my work. I also am interested in any reader response or feedback.
I am by no means a professional poet--this is simply a hobby. I have had one very short poem published thus far in my university's literary magazine and I won't hesitate to say I'm a bit proud its the first poem of the magazine! The rest find their way to computer files, random scrawlings, and Facebook notes, which I've found is not the medium I would prefer. Thus, BLOG!
You will find my poetry and musings are very random in nature. I very rarely adhere to a meter or specific poetic form, unless I'm REALLY in the mood to write a sonnet (which is rare....but it has happened) or something of that nature. Sometimes I rhyme, sometimes I don't. If I do rhyme it could be specifically patterned, it could be a random occurrence. You never know! My musings could be anything from a description from a scenic drive to a long hypothetical question about something in society.
I only write from inspiration... so if a long hiatus from updating occurs... it's because I haven't been struck by the poetic stick for a while.
Again, criticism and feedback is totally welcome. If you love it, hate it, think its trash, hell let me know.
Thanks, and hopefully I can get some of my poetry up and dated (if possible) soon!
