Good evening everyone!

Missed Mastodon so much, I’m currently working on a poetry competition
“ talking about family’s conflicts
Love and struggles and the different feelings “

But do you know that feeling when you have a lot of inspirations and much more to write and it ends up having a Writer's block and you don't know how to start?

Because this is me now and also only a few days remain until registration closes, and I still haven't done it.

Not looking for love, I am love
looking for a way to express
My deepest self to my beloved.

I feel good in caring
And sharing,
Perpetually encouraging
Our love to multiply
So together we may heal
Each other and all generations
Forwards and back
Until the world is clean and clear.

Aloha no wau ia oe (I truly love you)

Okay, this question needs a long answer, because there's a story to tell.

When I was a kid, decades ago, my sisters and I learned what we still refer to as "the bathroom wall poems". My dad would post a poem next to the mirror over the bathroom sink, and just leave it there. No requirement that we memorize it. Just there it was.

Whenever we combed our hair, brushed our teeth, or washed our hands, we would have this poem right there in front of our eyes. Gradually, lines and phrases would start to stick in our minds, like earworms. We'd start reciting them more and more easily. After a few weeks, my dad would replace the poem with a new one.

Fifty years later, all three of us can still recite, at the mere drop of a hint, every line of "Tiger tiger burning bright..." or "Whose woods these are I think I know..." or "I wandered lonely as a cloud..." or "Hope is the thing with feathers...." or any of more than a dozen other poems. What we learn as kids sticks in our brains forever. And we still refer to them as "the bathroom wall poems", a phrase which gets us weird looks from most people.
