The title of this poetry blog was inspired by The Strokes song, Juicebox. It seemed relevant to me because that’s how life feels sometimes, especially when you do something wrong. When we make an a bad decision or do something that doesn’t quite conform to what society deems ‘normal’ all eyes are on you, watching you, judging you, taking about you…taking the heat off of themselves. Because the majority of the pubic are saints, aren’t they? Now, in a bid not to sound too bitter, I’d like to say that I’m actually quite a positive person and I think ‘In the light field’ can be a metaphor for many things, and I thought it was a fitting name for a blog of my poetry.
I’ve been writing poetry on and off for about 5 years or so. I don’t put too much effort in checking that my grammar is correct, and to be honest, it is probably far from it. But that’s not why I write anyway. I like the sound of words when they’re stung together nicely (grammatically correct or not) and generally with a bit of meaning flung in there too.
I’m going to start by posting up about 8 or so poems that I feel are completed and that I’ve posted on other sites. You may not think 8 poems is a lot for about 5 years of writing but I have a barrage of ideas, half finished poems, finished poems that are awful and hopefully even some hidden gems, wrote in notebooks and scraps of paper strewn around my house that I am going to systematically go through and try and make some sense out of. When I have completed my editing I will post some of the better ones on here.
I think that’s enough to be getting on with just now. I hope you enjoy reading my thoughts, though I’m sure some people will disagree with what I have to say. But to be honest, that makes it all the more fun
