I've always treated my notebook and the way i write my poetry as a dairy of my life?

Question

like in code, because no one knows what my poetry REALLY means... what really happeneds before i wrote it... does anyone else think this about their notebook(s)?

Answer 1

A poet will understand the context of your poems. So will your close friends and family. However, I don't do it because my journals belong to me and should someone see them, they would only learn the truth about my life.

Answer 2

I do not believe in lies... and I have nothing to hide.  Wolves are territorial..

Answer 3

I kinda do that too...i think.

Im not really sure what your saying.

BUt I have five books full of poetry, and I treat them as diaries...I write secrets of what I'm feeling and stuff, but no one really sees them as more than poems...when I do let people read a few poems...now I just write stories. LOL

Answer 4

i used to write in a journal but i don't anymore

Answer 5

Many of my poems are self-biographical, some are theraputic, but most of my poetry is personal reflection on perceptions.  Still, if one were to look at my entire collection, they "might" get a clue as to what I was thinking at the time, what was going on in my life at the time, etc., because the subjects that come to our minds are influenced by what's going on in our lives at the time.  So in a way, you could say that every poem a poet writes is like a coded entry in a diary...with only the poet having the key to the cypher.

Answer 6

My notebook is a handy source of emergency toilet paper but I never throw anything away.

Answer 7

I don't chronicle like I used to. In the end, I decided to just write the truth. That way, there's no guesswork. TD

Answer 8

no. i use my diary as a memory of all the crazy, WTH kinda dreams i have, hehe

but i guess what your doing is good too. you need to put your feelings on paper without it being to obvious to others

Answer 9

Ye i do.

I express my feelings into a poem.

It helps me get round things like being depressed ect...

But most of mine are about Gerard and mcr and how people dont understand why i like them.

I get called every day because i like mcr and black and everything so i write poems. But in my mind i know that gerard is always there for me not physicaly but mentaly.
