my aunt writes too!

was just talking to my aunt edna about writing..she writes poetry too..and her stuff is really cool as well.. we both agreed that writing is not so much an expression of what we really feel about things in general..but it's more an expression of what we were feeling in a particular moment.. it's like if i had just written an angry poem, it doesn't mean that i am an angry person most of the time..it just means that i had anger to burn in that particular instance and it so reflects in my poetry.. though it may not seem so, poems are like entries in a diary..they help us remember those little moments in time when we put down our emotions into words.. the beautiful thing is, unlike diaries and blogs, the structure of poems mean that they can connect with a whole lot people and yet mean so many different things depending on their own interpretation of the poems..

today for those who are sick and tired of my poems, here's one which is written by my aunt (or at least i think it is!)..and for those who are sick of poems in general, oh well, bear with it then..

My dear child, do not despair
People say that life is unfair
But I say, we all have our share
of happiness and wealth, do not compare

Love will come, love will go
I don't want to say, I told you so
Memories of past, do not hold
Bright future about to unfold

All that is broken, let it be
Tears blind you, you can't see
Lock away the past, throw away the key
Jump for joy, yes, you are free

The world has so much to offer you
Grab all you can, not just a few
Open your heart, your life's renewed
Can you feel it, oh, isn't it thrill?
