To a Poet a thousand years hence!

O! Friend unseen, unborn, unknown,

Student of our sweet english tongue

Read out my words at night alone

I was a poet, I was young!

~James Flecker~

You dont think i wrote that right??
No! I didnt, I’m no where close to giving that sortta rhythm šŸ™‚
I read that poem and i was like Wow! Then a louder ‘Wow’! I guess the loudest might be chaotic, with the creature that lives next door… I have no intention of spending my weekend Behind bars for violating human rights! Lol šŸ˜€

A little on the actual poet,
James Elroy Flecker (5 November 1884 ā€“ 3
January 1915) was an English poet,
novelist and playwright. As a poet he was
most influenced by the Parnassian poets.
Among his beautiful works, ‘To a poet a thousand years hence’ really got to me so well… šŸ™‚

A little something about me! How about we go straight. Putting everything in written words, is definitely what i am obsessed with. Though i live in a world of science (a student of Chemistry/Biochemistry) which i also do love a lot too but when science runs wild and gets complicated, i run to my world of art to get things back in shape... to get my head a little less entangled in the web of science. Lets say i just love to maintain a balance between the two and writing my thoughts helps a lot with that. So my interest in blogging is built on my love for writing, everything goes down in written words. I say I write anything write able; from shorts articles to books (mostly fictional...) I love poetry, inspiring articles and short stories, nature, funny quotes and photos, everything that's gotta do with worthy creativity! Like i said, its all in words, my experience, life lessons and thoughts will be going here. If it turns out poetic, that'll be perfect! Sending positive and hopeful signals to a needing heart and restoring smiles to a grief stricken face gives breath and life it self... so my life literally can only be described as fulfilling when I am of positive help to others. If people could get the feelings attached to my written words, that'll be a job well done for me, So i am looking forward to that! I wrote once that what the poet's pen has written down, carries a lot more that the seeming words scribbled down on the surface, its deeper than you think, its sublime... it carries more than you can imagine... i think that's what i am about! Meeting and learning literally from new people is a dream come true, i hope i'd get that from you. I might never have the right words in a difficult phase but scorn vs being will definitely be pacific! Hey! The name is Jameelah! Thanks for the visit and looking forward to what Fate has in store for me and you! :)
