i opened my poetry critical account back in 2003. i had since completely forgotten about it and the poems that were contained within.
upon returning i have decided that my poetry wasn't as piss poor as i had convinced myself over time that it was, but it still wasn't as great as i thought it was at the time.
how do you feel when you run across forgotten poetry of your own?

Depends if I think it's good. Then I wonder if I wrote it or copied it from someplace! haha Welcome back. I've been here since 2003, too, are you under the same name you were then?

I found my first journal of poetry, from 10th grade.
I used to just string words together for the sake of sounding a certain way. Melodic, dark, melancholy.
Its embarrassing.
But everything I did beyond that journal at least shows signs of improvement from THAT point. Anything better than "As a Jew does not believe in Hell" and "kill our hope, just as you killed our crops" is good in my book.
I really started enjoying my own work around a year and a half ago. Quite proud of everything from the age of 18 and up.
Don't think a person's poetry can stand very well by itself. I think my poetry will accompany my greater life works just fine.

whether its bad or good, it still is an extension of your previous self. so i would naturally be nostalgic reading it.

Oh my god it's you! When I saw this username when you first signed up I thought it was the cutest thing ever and proceed to try to use it elsewhere. I confess now only because it was taken everywhere else and I did not succeed.
I read my old poetry and most of the time I think, I wrote that shite?

haha. i was pretty obsessed with this screenname for a time. it's kind of scary how easily i can hunt my history down just by searching my past screennames. if anyone wanted to know everything about me that would be the way to go.
and yes! i remember you as well.
