Normally, when writing poetry, I let the words sit, sometimes for days, sometimes for weeks.. Percolating like coffee used to.. Never being forced, just letting the words, the expressions, the lyrics FLOW.. When FORCED, I have found, they do not "flow" so much as feel forced, and unrepresentative as they USUALLY are, they SHOULD be, as has been shown in My former posts.. When they are, or even FEEL like they are, forced, they do not "flow" the way they should.. It comes across as feeling "forced", which they are, and do not "flow" the way they do when the words are appropriate.. (if that makes sense..?)
Sometimes, I try to, for lack of a better term, 'force' lyrics, or verses, and they do not translate properly between what I SAY, and the meaning I have behind them.. (Maybe this is just ME, and nobody else has the same issues, which has happened in the past) but I find a strain on the verses I try to FORCE, over those that simply "flow" to be an actual issue, one that can be readily discerned by those reading My prose that 'flows', for lack of a better term, over those I try to MAKE fit..
Last night, I wrote something.. kinda.. It was more FORCED, than flowing, and -I- for one felt the difference in the writing..
This is NOT to say the prose cannot be corrected with further re-writing, or corrections, but it certainly did not come out the way -I- saw it doing so.. I am only asking to not be judged by the prose that is "forced" over that which actually just "flows" in the future..
Thanks for reading..
