You don’t have to be a writer to write well.

Informative!

Coffee With Noor

1. Make sure you don’t accidentally replicate any any words.
2. Use the right punctuation?
3. Proofread yrou sentences.
4. Don’t use excessive commas, otherwise, as expected, your piece, unfortunately, won’t be as effective.
5. Don’t make a sentence longer than it should be, because this will make the reader question where you’re going with the topic of the sentence, and this would be detrimental to the point of the piece, so be careful and heed this point.
6. Allow your own voice to shine through in your work. Enough said.
7. Write with conviction. If you believe in what you write, chances are that the reader will believe in it too.
8. Try or attempt not to use or write additional or extra words where you could have said or stated it much more simply.
9. Don’t drift from one tense to another, otherwise the reader was confused.
10. Enjoy the creativity process!

PURPOSE {RANDOM THOUGHT} POETRY

Exceptional!

concepts101

Purpose of life is to create yourself anew

In the next grandest version

Of the greatest vision

Ever

You held about who you are

It

 Is

 To

Announce and become

Express and fulfill

Experience and know

Your true self

This requires nothing of the other people in your life

Or

Any other person in particular

That is why you can love others without

Requiring anything of them

IMAGE {RANDOM THOUGHTS}

Powerful words and fantastic imagery!

One word

Could mean so many things

But

When you sink into my thoughts

What kind of image do I bring

“To the Man on the Bus…” Pages Matam

POWERFUL PIECE!

i.am.sophus.

Piñata by Pages Matam at the National Poetry Slam 2013. Awesome.

A stunning example of the power of the spoken word. Speaking out against sexism and a really brave personal perspective.

To the man on the bus I overheard tell a woman in conversation – presumably a friend: “you are too ugly to be raped…”  Full text here.

I LOVE THIS HAIKU!

I once held a charm
So heavy it bled through
And stained my right arm

Nego True – The Break Up Poem ‘Sometimes’

THE BREAK UP POEM,,,ALL THIS POET IS SAYING IS SOSOSO TRUE,,,I CAN RELATE!

JustABlog.net |Lifestyle|Music|Fashion|Events

Nego True has done it again! Just over a month after his poem, Daddy Are You Proud of Me went viral, he has released another spoken word, titled Sometimes and dubbed as “The Break Up Poem”

Nego bares his emotions in this poem just as he did in his last one. He’s given us another poem that we can all relate to (whether we want to admit it or not).

Nego never fails to deliver exceptional quality, be it in a song or a poem, and I can’t wait to see what he has for us next.

Sound like a familiar story to you??

Funny and scarey (:

Sepia nights

I HAVE JUST BEEN IN SUCH A QUIET PLACE IN MY LIFE AND I SOMETIMES CONFUSE THIS PLACE WITH ISOLATION. SEAN “WORDSMITH” I HAVE COINED HIM DESCRIBES THIS PLACE SO BEAUTIFULLY.

Sean B

Made it home before just an hour ago,
I left my keys behind, but hey that’s okay,
So I’m sitting in the dark here on the steps,
Peering through the sepia sky of my mind,

For the stars, The Way out here is bright,
Thinking I might just dream a story or two,
As the roof above it creaks to the growing cold,
A story begins to write, here paper pen the dark,

Music is all around, listen to the night of song,
No need to whisper, for now I’m on my own,
Tell me something night sky, how do you find the dark,
Between Earth and Cosmos, please just shout it out,

Soon here comes now, it’s some foreign lights,
Moving fast up the dark old winding autumn road,
Then it veers off, taking on some vanishing path,
So I’ll just wait here some more, in my sepia dark,
