All that remains: here in my afterlife as a 'mainstream' blogger, with what little I know.

I write poems on my cellphone now. I could have never imagined that.

To celebrate 11 years, I will add to this blog post throughout the day with all of my favorite moments here at Writing.com these last 1.1 decades...

The first poem I offered this writing community:

 
STATIC
Memory Fades  (E)
Memory fades from the words we don't follow.
#1139344 by He’s Brian K Compton


Written about a girl in college who didn't think we were compatible until it was too late for us...our lives were moving in different directions.

------------------------------------------


Someone noticed me as more than a newbie within a month of joining. A WOW award by a member who shared my Michigan roots....and a poem that seems to have become my most successful among readers and reviewers...

STATIC
🎨 Before I'm Rejected By You 🖌️  (E)
The artist fears to commit to his subject. 🥇 WDC Hall of Fame Poem
#1152712 by He’s Brian K Compton


------------------------------------------


Going on a high speed chase, backward through time, looking for myself. The detectives eat donuts, the coroner readies sharp instruments, the newsroom plays games with crumpled copy, while I haven't arrived yet....

The latest Apple iPhone poem...

Love and Words

Poetry isn't my first language
It was a beating rhythm
In my mother's belly
My fraternal twin
Conceived
Undelivered
Until I set pencil to spiral notebook
Resurrected
It revealed itself
Having hidden in my flesh
Imprinted on shared DNA
Celtic roots
Like risen cream
Giving birth over and over
To her traditional flavor
Tamed by a foolish boy
With ideas of his own
Only to return
Inevitable
Crying
For the womb
To heal his eyes, ears, mouth
Show all
What love and words
Truly are made of.


------------------------------------------


And now, I tweet about my experience as a writer via my Twitter account...

Lots more treats to come today...

------------------------------------------


In 2009, I was recognized with as North Star recipient from Circle of Sisters, thanks in part to Gabriella and Kimchi, but not without my early recognition as a Rising Star from MDuci . Where are you Marlena?

The recognized poem...

My Oxygen  (E)
Remembering the life and love she gave from one little molecule.
#1633450 by He’s Brian K Compton


------------------------------------------




Perfection is lost once we try to conceive.

Everything beautiful we yearn has already been perfected...and lost.

Ambition is now the cruel mistress, leaving me with all these unfinished projects.

What keeps us going is this naive belief we can find truth...when actually we're deluding ourselves with our own fantasy. (A)ware of that, we still keep trying. There is joy in the chase, this process. Maybe it is not illusion but love of the game.
