When I started here in Steemit, I was confused what to write about. I wasn't sure what type of articles I really fit in. I started joining contests and freewrites.
I didn't notice that I was already writing poems again. I submitted poetry entries for freewrite without even thinking about it. I just enjoyed the process of writing it.
Until, I came across @awolesigideon's post in the list of contests. It was really interesting. It talked about 'niche' - explaining what you really love doing and being creative in that craft.
I began evaluating my past posts and I realized that I made several poems. Each poem made me feel happy and satisfied about creating them. That's when I realized that I found my comfort zone - my niche.
This realization made me write about my poetry collection and I am grateful to @awolesigideon for opening my mind to the importance of having a niche.
Here's my poetry collection:
- Hiding Behind the Clouds This is to encourage those who have lost inspiration.
- Elephant This contains 3 Haikus as my first poetry entry for the freewrite organized by @mariannewest. You can check the freewrite community and join in the fun of writing your heart out.
- The Wind This is a metaphorical representation of a friend.
- D-R-E-A-M This is another metaphor. A metaphorical representation of personal goals and aspirations. It is to encourage everyone to pursue it.
- The Untitled It's titled 'The Untitled' because I couldn't think of a title for it at that time. It was an entry for a freewrite on the prompt: Canal. It's about a man who left to pursue his dreams and returned to find his love pregnant and about to give birth of a child that isn't his.
- Fumigate This poem is all about the cramming of activities we experience after we procrastinate.
- Sunburn This is similar to Fumigate's theme. But this contains the regret and result of procrastination.
I will continue writing poems and express my thoughts through the creative craft of poetry.
