Well I'll be frank. I have written 299 poems (I know my gallery stats say differently but I did two paint works early on). When I get to 300 I think I will call it quits. No one (myself included) actually believes this. But I will try to hold off on writing that 300th poem until I know just exactly what it is that I want to say. I have had an AMAZING ride you guys. I have taking it TOO SERIOUSLY though. Like this is, I don't know a claim to fame. Like I am famous, and now I feel like a hasbeen. I remember when I first started here, how young/naive/and hotheaded I was. Starting fights in the shoutbox. That was my claim to fame. Along with my "in your face" poems, directed at certain individuals. Or just very angry, personal, emo, suicial poems. That's how I started. I feel like I have grown so much since my first writes, that I have explored myself, but that I have done it in a more mature manner.Some of my initial works were fictitious, but I'd say 90% of my poems are autobiographical. Along the way I have explored different techniques with different associated mediums. For instance: Haiku, acrostic, free verse, and yes rhyming poetry. I want this to be a monumental event. Maybe just because of the movie 300. Plus I have written extentsively about current issues anyway. It is old news. But my gosh this has been such a therapeutic experience. A place where I could vent in journals, and poetry alike. And I had the support of well.. strangers. Who became fast friends. Who seemed to care about me more than the people who were actually around me. I don't want to go on and on, I know I will visit, and like I said, don't quote me on it, I am sure I'll whip up/out a ton of poems yet, but this is just a feat for me. No not an attention seeking scheme. Much love ♥(as only a computer heart can give) ,
