First Post Ever

Hello. I just created this blog, and because everyone I tell about my blog looks at it and says, "You haven't posted anything yet!" I am writing my first post ever, right now. When I do post more on my blog, however, it will be about books and movies that I review, about my own writing (the process, the publishing attempts, etc.), and about writing in general (but of course, not strictly limited to these if something else seems fitting).

Until I start blogging more frequently with content, here is a poem to hold you all over. I wrote it in my creative writing (poetry) class as an exercise of poetic sounds. Therefore, the poem consists heavily of rhyming and iambic feet (the da-DUM feeling throughout). Also, I contrast Latin root words with Germanic root words, creating an extra sonic quality. Enjoy!

Sonic Sense

Forget semantic sense

It is a sonic poem

Iambic feet intense

Will bring the sonnet home.

And now, the sound of feet:

Da-DUM da-DUM da-DUM.

Reflects the drummers beat:

Ba-DUM ba-DUM ba-DUM.

Remember, rude and plain

And short, and raunchy too

Germanic roots profane

Contrasts with Latin woo:

Aqua fire.

Inferno heaven.
