“We write to taste life twice, in the moment and in retrospect.” –Anaïs Nin
Poetry is about reflecting on your current circumstances, your past experiences, your musings on what you see or hear, and then speaking that perspective back.

We write to release the tyranny inside us, that’s my opinion. Love your endeavours, bruv.
Thanks Ishkie

Oh my, I wasn’t familiar with this quotation–Excellent!
Me neither… I found it recently 😀
🙂
So true – and then we can go back and re-read what we wrote before, perhaps long ago, and see how our perception of things has perhaps changed – a lot. If it was never written down our malleable memory will never see the past as it actually was but as w wasn’t to remember it instead. .
I know… our sight is so limited especially in the moment… and as time passes our reflections are even more distorted.
Beautiful, Jason! I think it also helps us discover who we are.
