This blog post brings together some of my used and usual writing styles, all into one post. a poet friend, suggested I write a poem about something I’d written in a Facebook comment and the more I thought about it, the better it seemed as an idea. So I did it. I can’t decide whether to post the poem here, or attempt to get it published somewhere else first.
By the time I finish writing and posting this blog post, I will have made up my mind about it all. So here are my comments to clarify (maybe!) what I’m writing about here.
“I’m feeling very radical at the moment, this morning after the basket of cleaned washing was tipped on the bed, I folded and put away everything, but I DIDN’T MATCH MY OWN SOCKS! I just put them away in my sock drawer in a colourful unmatched JUMBLE!
I’ve been wearing unmatched socks for about six months now, putting together unmatched socks and wearing them like that, so a striped black and white sock on one foot for instance, and a green plain one on the other foot, for instance.
But to not match up any socks at all, that feels really out there!
One day I may even be radical and brave enough to wear striped clothes with something ‘floral”
That’s it, I’ve sent an edited version of my poem off to The Drabble to see if they will publish it on their site – fingers crossed.
Well I didn’t write about novels, but now I’m wondering whether the main character in one of the writing I have on the go might wear unmatched socks too … Who knows what might happen, that’s what I love about writing fiction!
I have to say thank you to Sarah Jane Justice, the poet who suggested I write this poem, Many thanks!
