Bibble Immelman: Digging through a lot of my old poems, it feels like January is going to be devoted to getting some of my throwbacks out there :) MK |

Bibble Immelman: Happy New Year to all!!! |

Bibble Immelman: It's been awhile since I posted anything here, school is going pretty well and is easy after being an undergrad; working a bit part time; house sitting and such. So it's all been really good, still looking into getting into my dream career. So we'll see how it goes :) |
||
|
Bibble Immelman: Getting ready to start school again, not sure if I'm excited or not just yet because it will be completely different from anything I've done before... |
||
|
Bibble Immelman: Bah, I'm supposed to be productive today...but it's just not happened. I did laundry which took forever and now there is no place for me to sleep on my bed. Yeaaaaaah, nothin' else is gettin' done today. |
||
|
Bibble Immelman: Just, one of those low days |
||
|
Bibble Immelman: Wrote "Human Face" for my mom today, made us both cry a little bit but I'm really glad I got to say the things that I needed to. |

Bibble Immelman: â??the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars.â?? â?? Jack Kerouac, On the Road |

Bibble Immelman: Spring Break next week, then barely a month to graduation! It's exciting and yet at the same time a little bittersweet; I love where I'm at now, so it might just be a little apprehension for what the future has for me. |

Bibble Immelman: I was looking at one of the top poet profiles on here and I came to an ironic-chuckle filled realization; for the description of their poetry they put what type it was. I look at my own and I'm like..."it kinda rhymes I guess". I dunno, I've always thought of writing poetry as breaking the rules of normal writing etiquette; I write what I feel, sometimes it rhymes, sometimes it has a beat to it, most of the time it's me venting out an emotion onto paper, like exercising a demon from my soul. Haha, it's just funny to me for some reason...in that sarcastic, slightly twisted way though... |

As for some of the free style poets those who have no real conception of the idea think that anything is viable. As to rhyme and reason there must be some reason but not neccessarily rhyme. If you like call your self an unconventional poet as to form and technicality or if you like call yourself liberated, either way its fine ... so long as the poetry is good. - | ||

What I mean by that is the poem can have a life of its own once written and mastered to a certain level, however good poetry has a definition whereby the concept, idea and words are so entwined and resolute that it defines itself in such a way that it cannot be ignored nor can it be dispelled. It has to persue an avenue where there is no escape for the reader by that I mean the piece has to encaptulate, enthral, speak with a voice whereby the reader is made to decern the core elements and subsequent realities of the piece. - | ||

Bibble Immelman: Just posted "A Pit", I found some of my older writings (this isn't one of them) while I was home last; reading them, a few were salvageable and a few I couldn't even relate to the pain I used to feel. Even with "A Pit", I've changed in the past year, but I can still recognize the needy and restless side of myself that I wrote about there. |

|
Bibble Immelman: Struck by wanderlust, must be because I realize that I won't be able to really leave my door until May when I graduate... |
