Writer Academia

Now and then I like to see the dark academia stuff. Well this time I came across the writer academia tag. kinda sad to see it pretty much dead

BUT!!! - there is one thing that's great about writer academia

YOU WILL NEVER OUTGROW IT !!!!

And that's somebody who is over (cough cough) 50.

I miss blogging

I really miss blogging, Facebook is alright But I really miss the ability to format my poems and having what I type out, display fully . I have things to post but the current bad weather is giving me a bad headache right.

Anna Akhmatova

One favorites of hers -

And I am not at all a prophet,

My life is pure as a stream.

I simply don’t feel like singing

To the sounds of prison keys.

poetry time

It’s Sunday evening and I’m in the mood to spend some time revising some poems. Maybe even write a new one. But for now, lets see what kind mischief can I get into with my misbehaving Muse.  

[quietone317]

If I Could Pray. (feat. Peter Capaldi)

WE NEED A MUSIC VIDEO FOR THIS SONG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Then we need a whole album of his wonderful voice singing to us. It will great to listen too, while writing and revise poems for me. Hey Peter can be my wayward Muse.

just love this one. Might have reblog this before

Where we go when he closes my eyes and under what country; some blue darkness, farther from hell; a landscape of absense and root and stone. There are no bodies here, we dream shapeless dreams– a constant, cloudless storm. Mother, I’ll never wake up from him. I have already traveled too far. My mouth is the color of his mouth and his arms are no longer his arms; they’re mute as smoke, as my first white dress, and the spear of his name, once ferocious, dissolves on my tongue like sugar, like birdsong, I whisper it: Hades

Sara Teasdale

Now and then I just love pulling out my Collected Poems of Sara Teasdale.  Sara was a popular poet in her days but time hasn’t been kind to her sometimes. For awhile her books were out of print but lately they are being published again. 

Enjoy.

Winter Stars

I went out at night alone; The young blood flowing beyond the sea Seemed to have drenched my spirit’s wings— I bore my sorrow heavily. But when I lifted up my head From shadows shaken on the snow, I saw Orion in the east Burn steadily as long ago. From windows in my father’s house, Dreaming my dreams on winter nights, I watched Orion as a girl Above another city’s lights. Years go, dreams go, and youth goes too, The world’s heart breaks beneath its wars, All things are changed, save in the east The faithful beauty of the stars.

I Shall not Care

When I am dead and over me bright April Shakes out her rain-drenched hair, Tho' you should lean above me broken-hearted, I shall not care. I shall have peace, as leafy trees are peaceful When rain bends down the bough, And I shall be more silent and cold-hearted Than you are now.

*****

The Broken Field

My soul is a dark ploughed field    In the cold rain; My soul is a broken field    Ploughed by pain. Where grass and bending flowers    Were growing, The field lies broken now    For another sowing. Great Sower when you tread   My field again, Scatter the furrows there   With better grain.

Dorian Gray from Penny Dreadful. I made this to cheer up a friend on Facebook And they are starting to shoot the new season on Sept 11th :)

If you are a fan of Dorian Gray, I suggest you check out a show called Penny Dreadful. He is in and he was such a fun but naughty character to watch. Season one and two were the best. Season 3 was a bit of a mess, halfway shooting it, they got word it was being cancelled. So things had to be rewritten.

I have to chuckle :)

I do like looking over the dark academia tag. But -

I have to chuckle over everybody’s post about doing school work because I graduated (or I should say escape) from high school back 1989 :)  Yes, I’m that old aka I’m turning “cough, cough” big 5-0 this year. 

And yes, there was really no such thing as mass school shooting in my era. You had problem with somebody, it was usually settled by using fists. I did have a classmate, who had a Ak-47 but he had enough sense never to bring it into school grounds. 

However -

I did have a stabbing at my school. The person who got stab, was name James and got a good lesson on why it’s not nice to annoying and tease his future attacker. Granted his attacker was a bit a troublemaker. But still, he pretty much admitted it was sorta his fault. 

And if you think school is hard wait until you get a job and your boss is an annoying bitch at times.

The Moon -

One shouldn’t howl at the moon -

One should make love to it. 

Letting the coldness of its white light, 

explore every curve of your body.

Rainy day -

Well it’s pouring right now. But it’s a good day for hot tea and spending the afternoon revising my poems and later tonight I’ll type them up. Oh course this all depends on my head, I’m hoping this rain doesn’t cause me to have an annoying headache later on. 

Still enjoying the dark academia posts on tumblr. and instagram. 

[quietone317]

You can laugh :)

Thanks to Instagram and tumblr, I now know what the basics of dark academia is. For some reason a few mood board show up on my Instagram explore page. 

And honestly, I thought it was about some tv show I didn’t know it. 

But I am glad to see Dead Poets Society being rediscover again. I do remember when that movie came :) It’s such a wonderful movie and the tragedy of Neal’s death. I was 19 at the time and was into poetry already. And it did spark a bit of a poetry boom at the time.

And as for The Secret History - I’ll stick with Shakespeare’s sonnets. 

Also suggest to your reading list if you are really into poetry. Both are by Janet Fitch 

The Revolution of Marina M - Chimes of a Lost Cathedral  They are about a young Russian poet and what she went through doing the Russian Revolution and afterwards. Simply heartbreaking at time 

[quietone317]

Ah that came out perfect.
