A Proper Glance by ~FuzzyHoser:iconFuzzyHoser:

Categories Literature > Poetry > General Poetry > Fixed


I long to move forward in backward movement,
for it seems my past was a welcomed improvement.
Today keeps bringing more of what wasn't there,
whereas my yesterdays could have offered a path elsewhere.
I have no other to blame for where I exist,
what I don't have is what I chose to resist.
My choices remove me from what I should have acquired,
time passed has only prepared me to be less than inspired.
In events where the future offers a new chance,
I hope I don't pass it off without a proper glance.

I find this really, really intriguing...it illustrates the parody of time. The points you have in this really stir my perspective of my past and how it affects future direction...it is a fragile duality, and it can be very troubling at times. Great poem.

Why thank you...ever so much! It's nice to hear intelligent comments and perspectives on my writing, it makes me feel nice. =)
You worded that incredibly well, you seem to have a very broad spectrum of thought when it comes to art. Do you write any?

I...uhhh...sort of keep my writings to myself. I guess there's this ever-present fear if you put your work out there...it will be crushed...and along with it the little outer confidence an artist can express. But...I guess any kind of art is about how it makes YOU feel...but there's always that doubt...I think that doubt is one of the finest lines in art...but it keeps us going sometimes, doesn't it?

Yes, I totally agree with that idea. And I wouldn't post my writing for the longest. It was actually my dearest friend that encouraged me to do so. I was very insecure and felt people would over-critique them. But I've found it offers more of a release to share than it does to simply write it. I would be quite curious to read your writings...
