As you, and by you I mean nobody because this January month was brutal, nobody to read, nobody wanting to write and good riddance it is over, because now we can all focus on things we really want, which is peace and crap, things like that, basically getting shit done, anyway, as you noticed, dear reader, I've been posting poems of the loverly kind in here lately. Just two, and two more are in works, to send to somebody specific or as generally in one's backpocket it doesn't matter too much, but I've been writing them, after feeling inspired. Wish one could say the same about writing here ahahaha.
In any case, I sent 'em to a couple of friends for guidance and consulting, ye gods could I make this sound any more unsexy and unromantic I'm disgusted by the language I'm using already, and one absolutely gushed over and thought it was incredible, the other one said ooh yeah yaayy it's great, who'd you like write it for and I told her it was none of her beeswax so can you please help me edit it and make it better. And she jumped, jumped at the opportunity, oooh yeah I've been wanting to tell you this could be so much better, you should make a few changes here and there. And I asked her to do them for me, she said she wasn't free for the next two days, but I should set up a google doc and remind her. Which was very generous for her, because I'd have lazed out and said it didn't need editing, it was the best, etcetera.
The good thing is that she used to edit poems for money and class credits, and was a legit poetry editor, so there's a qualified person who knows what they're doing helping me out. On the other hand, I'm the sorta' dorky loser who brings in a semi-pro or even a professional to edit their love poems. Kinda' gross.
The posted poems haven't been edited by the pro, we'll see how agreeable I'm to the the changes, and we're going to be working from there. Possibly, I'll be posting both the versions.
Are people impressed by poems these days? Does that makes one's heart tingle, or when one says wow that's really sweet, no no I really liked it, the face with hearts for eyes emoji, does that mean they're being polite and not really into it or into you for that matter, or maybe they are but there's nothing more to say because what is it that you really want, and there's not too many places your interpersonal situation can go with the pandemic and the physicality and the world around you, jobs and the fact that at least one party involved may or may not have other close intimate relationships going on, which is not a problem for at least for one other party involved because it is none of the beeswax, nobody should be worried about or be micromanaging anybody else's personal life. And I'm not a skeevy trashbag obviously, nobody is, we're all little children stumbling around, trying to figure out what's right and what wrong. We'll find peace, we'll find happiness, and company with people we care for dearly eventually, the journey could be longer for some compared to others.
Tis' will end well!
