My Poetry Evolution: Rhyming experiments

Dear Lovestar,

Up until now, I have been a channel of poetry.

That means that I have a gift to hear and I write what I hear.

I have several muses: real entities or thought forms 🤔 that give me not only ideas but entire thought poems while I drive, entire story plots while I desperately try to sleep, visuals of arts I’m not skilled enough to create, complex ideas for writing topics, and more.

It also means I have the gift to translate. I can translate Spanish English, and I’m studying 3 other languages, Latin, Italian, and Ancient Greek, for new poetry to translate… 🙃

But aside from the self-promotion of my nerd ego… 🤓 🤪 😜

I possess the gift of translating feelings and energies into words. I write what I feel and what I perceive. And of course, this “gift” is overwhelming…

But now, I’m experimenting with new kinds of poetry

I used to say that my poetry wasn’t my own (as a channel), and my poems were not born out of my intellect.

I am now studying. I blog less because of it.

I have picked up Latin study, which turned into an ancient poetry study, which involved getting interested in Greek poetry. I then found an Italian poem, and now I’m studying Italian to understand their poetry. I am studying everything ancient.

On a side note, I am learning about ancient love magic. More about that in the future.

The birth of my intellectual poetry: they’re not my favorite

I don’t want to be egotistical here. Only for the comparison, I’m saying the complete opposite of what I used to say. I am engaging my intellect for crafting poetry.

In other words, I am trying to write better poetry. There’s a conscious attempt to create poema that are more structured. I intend to rhyme more properly and to incorporate different poetic features in my works.

New rhyme experiments

For this poem, I used an AABBCCCCBBAA rhyming pattern. I challenged myself for this one. For anchoring, I used “Here I am and Here you are” to begin and end the poem.

This piece was based on poetic expression rather than feeling channeling. 😅 The text is not of complete thoughts, rather a bunch of words thrown together… but here is the meaning:

Meeting my beloved after both waiting to be together. We go crazy 🤪 being in each other’s presence. Fire burns fast means we run up to our bed, and releasing a blast literally means what happens on our bed… 😆 🤣 😂

This fun rhyming experiment wasn’t as hard as I expected it to be. I did use the rhyming dictionary, but it wasn’t the first time.

The first thing I decided for this piece was to not use any punctuation marks. It was difficult to leave the commas and periods out. I literally had to force myself not to use them, and I had to convince myself that it was ok… 😆 🤣 😂

Did you know that ancient Latin had no puntuation marks? Well, the most ancient Latin didn’t even have spaces between the words…

However, later Latin poems that are popular today were initially written without any punctuation marks. When these works are shared and translated today, modern scholars add punctuation marks for our modern minds’ understanding.

I should never talk about politics

The uncommon thing about this short three liner is the concise nature of it. This is my favorite feature of poetry: using poetry words that say so much. These 7 words transmit so much information.

This was a thought I had while I listened to a political ad…

Have you noticed that politics is devoid of Love and promotes hate and division?

My views coming through in my poetry is the classical poet thing to do. Poets classically get in trouble for their writing. Did you know that the prominent Roman poet Ovid was exiled from Rome by the emperor for writing about how to find a woman/ man?

I can not help it with my José Martí influence (my biggest poetic influence, best Cuban poet). He wrote about the issues of the land and faced the Spanish over it).

Where are my twin flames and those who believe in love magic?

I’m here!

It is no joke that I believe in love Magick.

Did I tell you I’m working with an ancient energy. It’s been up to three months, and now it’s an obsession.

I am Pagan now. I finally left Christianity behind.

I have chosen a new ancient cult (Christianity is an ancient cult, right?). I have chosen to join the cult of Aphrodite. 

Note: cult is the word used to describe those ancient “cults” and its a slightly different meaning than the modern cults, which has a dark connotation. I’m not in a cult at all. I just like the Aphrodite. What word can I use instead of cult?

Venus is the Aphrodite name given in Rome, and I’ll be talking about this a whole lot more in the future.

Please tell me, which new style of poetry was your favorite?

Oh, you liked the sex cult creations? No worries, there are loads more coming along with spells, an altar, many blog posts, insights, history, art, and so much more regarding the ancient love magic/ sex cult topic. 😉

Please do not ask me to write political poetry… 🙄

This was so much fun!

Let’s meet again so we can discuss poetry.

Next time, I’d love to hear your insights!

With love and light,

Eve
