Writing Ramblings and Poems

I really like to write. And I feel like I am fairly good at it. I could never be an actual writer, I am bad with deadlines. I need to be able to write on my own time, when I feel a story or thoughts within me and want to write them down. But when I do have a stroke of inspiration and creativity I find that some interesting things come out.

I recently stumbled upon some of the things that I wrote last spring for my creative writing class and was super impressed with my former self. We did a few different things, some creative non-fiction and some fiction. We also wrote some poetry, which I generally am wretched at, but one of them I feel is extremely good. Granted, I had help with it. My English major friend helped a lot with the creative process, so some credit goes to him. The poem had to be an "I Am" poem. A poem about me, or something about me. And I feel like this poem is pretty awesome so I thought I would share it.

BEHOLD:

I am…

I am a Disney Princess, unlike any other,

The fairest of them all, without an evil stepmother.

To wake me from my slumber, you’ll fail without a kiss,

And I’ll know you’re my soul mate when that glass slipper fits.

You don’t need a fancy car to be the object of my eye,

Just take me on a carpet ride through an endless diamond sky.

You can think I am odd, go ahead and be my guest,

I’ll find your hearts kindness right through your furry chest.

Care for me like a rose in a sacred glassy shrine,

So we can have our song, and tale as old as time.

I’ve got “who’s its” and “what’s its” galore,

But I want to be part of your world, I want so much more.

For I’ll know every rock and tree and creature,

And use the colors of the wind to paint your features,

I am a Disney princess, strange as it may seem.

So take my hand and walk with me, once upon a dream. 

BAM. DISNEY. My disney-ness loves to come out at all times. There is no controlling it and it literally is my go to for everything. 

In the fall I will be taking a travel writing course on the ship, which means I will be doing a lot of writing about the places that I will be going. I already plan on blogging all the time while I am at sea, that is going to be my main way to let everyone know what is happening. A bunch of my posts will be sharing the things that I write for my class because it will be a built in reason to write and will help me not double up my writings, since time will probably be limited.

I also want to share some of the other things that I have written because I am proud of them. They are a little bit longer though so I will have to find someway to share without boring you to tears and overloading my blog with text.

I hope you thought my poem was as awesome as I thought it was! Happy Monday!
