Have you ever noticed how a sad person asks more deep questions than a happy one?
And yet I fail to come up with an especially deep question, or a particularly amusing pun.
I fail to write, and instead I stall.
So I shall leave this post wanting, it'll die in a few days.
That way, I'd have put it justly in its rightful place.
And now my tale has grown too tall.
Because we all know that isn't really true...
to serve this post justice I'd have to write it through.
Or not. I may not write it at all.
But I can't help noticing how this post is still here,
It's written, in spite of my wisdom and my fear.
Yelling 'In gravity, we fail to fall.'
This is, i suppose, a very admirable and eloquent way to express your inability to write, a good way to deal with a writer's block.
ReplyDeletebut i sense some deeper ideas lurking beneath...
btw, i'm not very sure about the first line, as far as i know, michel de Montaigne was a relatively happy person, but he spent most of his life asking the one question that towers above all, "What do i know?".
Or, perhaps its the question that lurks beneath all...
You're right of course, this was a way of dealing with a form of writer's block, some sort of spark to get things going.
ReplyDeleteSecond point is right as well, there are deeper meanings beneath, pretty good ones too! They were born halfway through.
Third Point is also right, the first line is just me repeating a common myth.
But there's a forth point too, the title & the main idea that the post began with (& morphed afterwards) was how YOUR blog posts put me in place! I felt like any writing I thought I did was third grader essays!
Not an empty compliment by the way. & regardless how much truth is in it, sadly that is how I felt.
