Themes

Real post. Oh no!

Before I do that, actually, thanks to everyone who has been reading the massive amounts of poetry that has appeared lately. I have plans for it, yes I do. Sending it out to more places would be a good start to that, I think. Oh, and please feel free to give me some criticism if you see pieces that need it - I would quite like to improve it if I can.

Enough wankery. Or wait, maybe some more. Depending on how you look at it, I suppose.

I was sitting around with wine last night, with my legs perched on a stool getting spattered with rain, and I started musing on the themes that I constantly have popping up in my writing. Rebirth and regeneration are probably the most prevalent, especially in my fiction. The last two major pieces that I've worked on have revolved around the concept of rebirth or transformation. I'm not sure why, but it seems to resonate really strongly with me. And would explain why I have unholy love for Battlestar Galactica.

Actually, even my poetry tends to have an influence from those particular themes. Several of them, absolutely directly. I wonder why that is? I do have a peculiar idea of death, maybe that's why. Rebirth is certainly a cure for that. Well, after a fashion.

I found a line scribbled onto a supermarket docket that I have been using for a bookmark. It said:

Rebirth is
Tuned to the
Morning Sun.


I rather like that.
