Scroll of a Writer's Life

by dangerdanger


A bucket of words playing, juggling in my head

They were all thrown out until something might to end

Horrified, terribly getting my pen in the case I've wanted

And here it comes, the A-B-C became unknown in a second

'Oh dear', the call of the wind already spoken

"For real?", said the mind who even itself had broken

"Alleged!, The decisive answer of frightful bullet of pen

"Avenged!", burst out by the paper to get written

I, who possessed the reality, roulettes into dust

From the line of gravity into swings of the crust

Even chromatic mood of heart who always in conscious

Disconnected from course, had now turn tedious

Like Fortunato's mishaps were in my seconds of time

That almost, but words behind never came into a rhyme

And I'm drowning in the spot where I used to sit

Losing my work, my art, my everything on it

Going back to my place of comfort into bed

Digging everything with blue pillow in my head

"Alas!" pops up, as the words began a thread

Yet the midnight's tic-toc of clock prevails instead

The sweetest rest in night, now compels with bitterness

Hands in aloofness, feet in verge of caress

Fancy land had began to create odd screenplay

Where full pack of art diverts like monster to pay

Illuminating lace of morning sun rays now tickle my eyes

And as my body relaxes, recollection refills in disguise

'Run!', blown up by myself into surprise

Until this mode of discourse will finally suffice

At last, coming right down here on my throne of appraisal

Eagerly writing the verses you may thought a journal

But this Scroll of a Writer's Life is now you would obtain and scout

Because what you have read is what really this story all about

The first short stories in the United Kingdom were gothic tales like Richard Cumberland's "remarkable narrative" "The Poisoner of Montremos" (1791).[8] Great novelists like Sir Walter Scott and Charles Dickens also wrote some short stories.
One of the earliest short stories in the United States was Charles Brockden Brown's "Somnambulism" from 1805. Washington Irving wrote mysterious tales including "Rip van Winkle" (1819) and "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" (1820). Nathaniel Hawthorne published the first part of his Twice-Told Tales in 1837. Edgar Allan Poe wrote his tales of mystery and imagination between 1832 and 1849. Classic stories are "The Fall of the House of Usher", "The Tell-Tale Heart", "The Cask of Amontillado", "The Pit and the Pendulum", and the first detective story, "The Murders in the Rue Morgue". In "The Philosophy of Composition" (1846) Poe argued that a literary work should be short enough for a reader to finish in one sitting.[9]
In Germany, the first collection of short stories was by Heinrich von Kleist in 1810 and 1811. The Brothers Grimm published their first volume of collected fairy tales in 1812. E. T. A. Hoffmann followed with his own original fantasy tales, of which "The Nutcracker and the Mouse King" (1816) is the most famous.
In France, Prosper Mérimée wrote Mateo Falcone in 1829.

The Egyptian Nobel Prize-winner Naguib Mafouz is the most well-known author from his country, but has only a few short stories.
Japanese world-known short story writers include Kenzaburō Ōe (Nobel prize winner of 1994), Yukio Mishima and Haruki Murakami.There are early examples of short stories published separately between 1790 and 1810, but the first true collections of short stories appeared between 1810 and 1830 in several countries around the same period.[7]

Heya dangerdanger! Welcome to YWS! I've popped over for a quick review, so let's get cracking!

First off, I really really like the idea behind this piece! A writer's mind is such a bizarre, and yet such a wonderful place! Your choice of words and vocabulary showcases the fact that you indeed have good taste in language, however there are a few places that could use some improvement.

For example:

They were all thrown out until something might to end


OK, so I found this bit vague, unfocused and pretty confusing, actually, since I couldn't understand what it was that you were referring to after "might." Did you mean "might want to end"? I think you've missed out a word there, because it doesn't make much sense. I also agree with Mystique that the first two lines are not as powerful as some other parts of the poem, so maybe tweaking the words a bit here and there might help.

Then there's this bit:

Horrified, terribly getting my pen in the case I've wanted


Over here, the reader just gets mixed up since "terribly" doesn't exactly fit in with the mood. Perhaps "frantically" or some other word?

There's also:

Disconnected from course, had now turn tedious


Here, I found myself asking what had turned tedious, as you seem to have gobbled that up altogether. But it's alright; nothing a little editing can't solve! The thing with writing is that our work is never complete, and there are always changes to be made. It's like a cycle of never ending process - to be revised again and again. :D So keep working on this, and it'll turn into a marvellous read! I like how you say:

From the line of gravity into swings of the crust


Epic imagery, really.

Overall, this poem was a really great effort, just a few minor things. So keep it up! Keep writing!

Cheers,
~Pompadour :)

Hey!
Let me tell you that you are a VERY talented poet.... You have chosen the perfect words in each and every line, I am in awe of the way you have described the feelings.

The first line didn't have that great an impact,

"A bucket of words playing, juggling in my head
They were all thrown out until something might to end."

This sounds more like the filler lines of a story but.... after that, you delve into a whole new world altogether.

"Alleged!, The decisive answer of frightful bullet of pen

"Avenged!", burst out by the paper to get written

These would be my favourite lines, specially because "alleged" and "avenged" aren't words generally used in such a description. I love how you have shown a writer's life in a totally different perspective. These two words successfully show the strength and depth of what you are trying to say.

"Fancy land had began to create odd screenplay

Where full pack of art diverts like monster to pay"

Again, people have used all kinds of cliche phrases for dreams. "screenplay"- new and quite right. I can't tell you how these little words make your poem SO different from others!

"Eagerly writing the verses you may thought a journal"
And that is something that every writer feels, poems, stories anything are just a reflection of thoughts and ideas.

I'll say it again: AMAZING!
I have no other words for it.
Great choice of title.
I'm jealous, really :P

Hi dangerdanger, SubtleSanity here for a review. First of all, welcome to YWS and this certainly a very interesting and unique poem you have here! As nadeanie2 have said, your word uses are fabulous! As is your vocabulary, straying away from the overused ones. However, good as it is. I find that your rhyme in this poem is a bit forced and so is your some of your word choices. So, let's get down to it!

"For real?", said the mind who even itself had broken

"Alleged!, The decisive answer of frightful bullet of pen


Something doesn't quite flow right here, the rhythm is a bit off beat. Of frightful bullet of pen? Whew, that sounds like a mouthful. Also the sentence doesn't quite make sense, I think you meant the pen had a frightening and strong personal.

The rest of the poem had similar problems with the flow of words, but that's just my personal opinion and is a very small thing so don't mind it that much.


Overall, this an enjoyable and definitely unique piece of poem to read. :D Hoped I helped!

This is a very elegantly written poetic piece. I am very impressed with your vocabulary, you have expanded your word use way past dull and unexciting and have really made the reader think throughout the entire piece. You have successfully started and ended your poem with your subject and have linked them to not make your work confusing or off topic (which is brilliant). Your work has a very strong emotional component and portrays character. I found this to be a very well written poem, well done.
