Hi,

This is my first blog and so I intend to chart out only on familiar territory before I venture into something more challenging...afterall I am a novice and will learn quickly...for sure!


The Art of Writing Disgusting Poetry:

Perhaps the one change that is so implicit during growing up amongst most normal kids is their sudden acquired skills in writing gibberish which is euphemistically labelled "Poetry".I am normal and it is no wonder that I was also bitten by the same bug that insists that gibberish can also be passed on silently as poetry...words close to one's heart are pasted close to one another while carefully ensuring that there arent more than five words to a sentence.This art of putting words together also sometimes makes one wonder if its a hidden talent,a new discovery of one's creative pursuits and what not!This is the ultimate folly that one can commit.

Another facet of the so called poetry is that oftentimes its based on love:found love,lost love,found and lost love,love stinks and many more in the same genre!Maybe people have taken it upon themselves to carry forward the legacies of romeo and juliet,laila aur majnoo and even our own ponniyin selvan!I have seen so many that are engrossed in mutilating the languge of english trying to create a piece that they with all audacity think is a tribute to their so called love and what is more amazing is that the person for whom these are written actually appreciate it...a sorry state of affairs indeed.

The more worrying fact about these kind of cheap imitation poetry is that the poeple that write them sometimes just pick a few lines from well known good poets and then assemble them together to create poetry of their own.This blatant flair for plagiarism is quite rampant and I seriously feel something ought to be done about it...sooner rather than later.

By now you must be wondering(if you are smart...hey you need'nt be newton!) what is the corelation between the said topic and the previous two paragraphs...if you did...kudos to you!...now to answer the question...the art of writing poetry...err... disgusting poetry is a skill which cannot be acquired that easily and requires a lot of practice per se...I have been attempting to master it for quite sometime now with my own cheap imitation poems...do read them to guage how good a student I am of this flourishing trade!...chow chow
