Perfect Poesy: Death to Self

Scary but I die
Each moment changes slowly
Loving free; let go
To become my ideal self
I must first kill who I am

"Perfect poesy" came to mind as the title of this blog not only because of the poetry, but also through the expression of what "perfection" is. I think being "perfect" is not the ultimate best as compared to others, but for me it's about being true to myself; being authentic - by being genuine I think we can only be "perfect" because in expressing ALL our emotions, we are living life as "whole" beings. So my words are from the heart, and I try to really tap into my inner wisdom when I write - I practice "perfection" by allowing my feelings to be heard.

My Inspiration

I think LIFE inspires me, and I write my prose to get in touch with my emotions and express what I see. I've been sad, mad, happy, insane - all of these i try to put into words if i can.

Living in Melbourne, I take a lot of public transport, so I have a whole section dedicated to travel.

My wise voice also shares Truths at times, so I record that too in haiku format :)

With the poetry, I love the "found" poems; this style involves using phrases, songs, ideas of others combining them into a piece of flowing poetry. I also love my sonnets - they take such a long time to construct and so completing them is blissful. Now I am in awe of Shakespeare more than ever!

I started writing poetry at a very young age, and though most of my writings are lost in Time, I have uncovered a few (and keep finding more) which I've called my HISTORY poems. These I have placed in the correct spot in my chronological timeline, as you can see in "Versing History" to the left.
