Thanks for the excellent post-match feed @
Pharaohs Army. What you said is very useful, and I agree it never hurts to add another tool to the toolbox. Lol, just read some of the tags. Anyways, this type of discussions are good, it strengthens our community, as we discuss these literary techniques and stylistic perspectives.
What I feel is missing in our board is community discussions on this fine points that we bring up. This is something I have learned from scholarly circles, as of late, how to discuss said material, in ways that are vastly unspoken about, without bringing my own emotional content and viewpoints into play. I mean we have good writers here, I have made my writing much more poignant spending time here learning from others. Unfortunately, I feel sometimes that learning is hindered is because we get caught up in the weave of hindrance that stems from our own individual need to prove something, and any form of idea from others that dispels our own subjective notions becomes a threat. And so, tension forms and we lose sight of the greater whole, of why we're here. To write and to get better, and have fun in the process, if this wasn't fun I wouldn't be doing it, but ultimately my fun stems from challenging myself.
You bring up good points, both you and Adonis. And honestly, I will say that I didn't spend the time needed to conquer the fire that Adonis brought, mostly because I was tired and in my stupor I was rushing things. In my opinion, I made an inferior product, I'm not discontent that adds unneeded frustration, but its not something I look to objectively and I am amazed by. I always find it amusing that the verses I write really fast are verses people like sometimes, and verses I spent crafting in a timely manner, relatively, get the thumbs down. It's comical in a way, and I've learned from it actually.
And I am humbled by Adonis holding me in such high esteem, but you know there's tons of great lyricists here and I like to use them as vehicles for greater learning. And actually, I do wish @
sacrifice came out of hiding, him and I had a great conversation on many aspects of life, including writing and rhyming, and he is one that could contribute greatly to this largely unknown field of writing that we do. There is other writers here that have very perceptive eyes for little details, unfortunately, they're blinded sometimes by their own need of self-gratification and do not typically give feed to others because they cannot interact with other writers without the need for self-worshipping. Thus, in a way, we lose a plateau for continually developing ourselves. To continually raise the bar.
I've also been working at that medium that Adonis alluded to, but its an ongoing process I have tried to chip at, I'm an eternal student after all. As for calling me, GOD, you can still call me by my former name, but truthfully the word GOD means little to me, so you can call me that too, lol, although it will distort the meaning of what my new name aimed at.
And Pharaoh, I think you will do well in this poetry league here, sign in, if you have the time.
