Getting Through : Creative Writing

A bit of mental masturbation

from zendrake - Tuesday, September 23, 2003

Twisted, turned and tied about.

All and sundry fit and twist, to be or not to see?

Taught to blend and never offend, but told to strive, to win and conquer.

To be the same, to follow, but to lead and make a mark on the morrow.

Never stray from goals and schedule, but be brazen, step out from rut and beaten path.

Be humane be sane be kind, but mind ye not the heads ye grind.

To each his own all views are valid, but any other god is squalid.

We alone are heaven bound, but truth is in all lifestyles found

It twists and turns in an interesting way, the voice changes from line to line consistently between the exclusive monotheistic claim and that which accepts diversity of thought and religion.

I like it, its consistent in its style. I like the part where you deal with how creativity is subtlely shun. Just a suggestion, try breaking away from the 15th centurly english. Not that it's wrong... I get into shakespearean genre all the time, but I think todays contemporary language is even more powerful for today's generation. Just a suggestion.

I like it too, but I think the problem isn't the eccentric vocabulary, but the fact that it strays from its structure (rhythm/rhyme scheme) every few lines. If it had no structure at all, that I could live with, but as it stands it can be kind of jarring.

Remember, rhythm is more important than rhyme. Most of Shakespeare's stuff didn't rhyme, but he always stayed with iambic pentameter.(reply to this comment
