RE: “Lessons in Bitterness” — Writers Block Poetry Contest Week 1
whether the narrator is you or not, this piece certainly feels personal - like the reader is being given an insight into a the life of or as a trusted friend.
certainly helps pull the reader in and establish the relationship so that hearing the narrator explain their life experiences and process feels like you are in the trenches with them.
great share, mate.
The narrator is maybe-me, or a version of me —- all art, as I see it, is a form of autobiography, conscious or not. And, we are all each other :)
Satisfying to hear this pulled you in. I’m sorry, it’s a touch dark - but that, too, is part of it.
I so deeply agree..."And we are all each other." You are one of my good sides I show the world (lol)
What an incredibly sweet thing to say, dear @rensoul17... Truth is, I aspire to your idealism and generosity of spirit! Much love, Yahia
i can definitely feel and agree with the acknowledgement that no art is an island. i feel quite similarly, i think, in that no matter where my writing goes, it's always rooted in my experiences and an extension of who i am.
appreciate your openness in your art form, Yahia, and i enjoy dark writing as much as everything else. important to have balance, yeah? ^_^
