SPICY LIT NIGHT CAP! WORD PLAY: Cherry!

When I think of this word I instantly think red, vibrant, youthful, sex, virgin, and sweet.

In your writing, this word can be played up in many ways.  For instance, if your writing about a yummy recipe that's filled with sweetness or great flavor or even how you describe a young girl who is a virgin in your story.  You can play this word up or down in great ways and get different responses from your readers.



This is also a word that can entice your readers into your story because you can keep it steady or be over the top with how you use it.  In poetics, when you use the word cherry it has a sense of vividness and anonymity because in one instance your talking about how vibrant and amazing something is, and then in another instance your referring to a sensual soft subtle moment that involved the cooing effect of a great moment that took your breath away in a manner that exploded with riveting sweet flavor.



All in all, when using this word you can keep it steady or take it to the next level. Words like this don't have to be boring in a story.  Remember, the vividness of the word is there, it's up to you to use your imagination and create something that can explode with riveting effects of wildness.

POETICALLY SPEAKING: The Wise By Countee Cullen

THE WISE

Dead men are wisest, for they know
How far the roots of flowers go,
How long a seed must rot to grow.

Dead men alone bear frost and rain
On throbless heart and heatless brain,
And feel no stir of joy or pain.

Dead men alone are satiate;
They sleep and dream and have no weight,
To curb their rest, of love or hate.

Strange, men should flee their company,
Or think me strange who long to be
Wrapped in their cool immunity.

Written by Countée Cullen (1903-1946)

 

*We love the poetic genius like Cullen.  He's one that was truly in love with his words*

POETICALLY SPEAKING!

(DHLC-www.literarydiva09.blogspot.com)

As I flick my cigarette, I realize this is a bad habit. It seems to like me and I love it- as it calms me and take my mind to another disgusting level.

Ignoring the affects of this madness I flick my cigarette and digress.

Time is grinding on me as my thoughts exceed my will power and I fall into a jaded misfortune of a crushing dirty moment.

Ignoring the affects of this madness I flick my cigarette and digress.

Peeling the layers back of juiced up chaos is like fire on my skin burning through me one sweat gland at a time. My eyes are eroding as I cannot see but just feel the moments of opportunity ripping from my flesh.

Ignoring the affects of this madness I flick my cigarette and digress.

Fighting the fear of life and sadistic mummified entrapment has me bowing down to the queen of evil as my spirit is about to be beheaded.

Ignoring the affects of this madness I flick my cigarette and digress.

Peeping toms pry into my flesh as time has moved but I’m standing still only to be encased in life’s solitary confinement. My mind says raise the roof but my soul says shut this bitch down!

Ignoring the affects of this madness I flick my cigarette and digress.

My notorious ego has found its match as life is a bitch with a bad attitude. A feeling of embattlement is all in the flick of my cigarette as I digress and flick for the last time.

Poetically Speaking!

*JANE'S PUZZLE HOUSE-Thoughts Psychotically Mutating*

Sitting
Staring
Thoughts overflowing
Turmoil of chaos invading
Murmur, murmur, tears flowing without juice and mind sinking into nonstop aroma.

Cries
Laughing
Thoughts overflowing
Sinking of great flavor into a ravished spirit
Murmur, murmur, lost in a box of sick thoughts of swarming illusions and death grips.

Talking
Walking
Thoughts overflowing
Hardcore thoughts clawing and scratching to dominate
Murmur, murmur- laughing nonstop while my thoughts drool like hot magma and burn the inner parts of my psyche.

Murmur, murmur

Murmur, murmur

Laughing psychotically
Eating scents of horror
Tasting instant grips of rotten mind hoarding
Arms folded as I rock back and forth
No way out

Isolated
Murmur
Isolated
Murmur

Life solitary confinement is a bitch as it locks down but takes my thoughts on a trip.

WRITE WITH LOVE!

Writing takes alot of soul and everything else. Everything from how you write, what you write, and why you write comes out of you.

At times many of us writer's feel like we can't because we feel as if we have nothing to say.  Instead of digging deep in our writer's soul, we don't say or write anything. 

That's not being a good writer.

What we do know is that, each story you come up with should be a story written with love and determination.  It should be the best story you write as if it were your last. 

Trust me; I' know!

Today; take the time to write with love.  Every word, sentence, and paragraph should be written with your love stamp.  Remember it's the love in your writer's soul that can truly create a story for your reader to remember.

Being true to who you are is something that most writer's should have inside as they strive to create the best stories.  Those stories will resonate with the reader in their own lives as they read the stories. 

Today take the time to walk in truth so that you can be true in your writing.

Baldwin-Simmons: A True Power of Power

James Baldwin was an American writer who had trials and tribulations, but found his way through the world of words.  Russell Simmons had the same trials and tribulations, but found his way through music and the power of the mind.

These two men are men of power.  They are men of great intellect and more than anything, men of substance. 

"Be Powerful Be Heard" is a law in Russell Simmon's book "Do You."  Which explains transitioning into getting your mind, body and message right to be able to deliver it to others.  It also takes you on a journey of preparation and thought to proceed in the right direction in order to be heard and more than anything to be powerful. 

"World of Words" is written about James Baldwin.  Baldwin ran into complications back in the day as racism was running rampart and so-called winning.  Baldwin wasn't about to take that sitting down. He clearly wasn't having it as he believed blacks had the right to be heard and powerful.  This took him on a journey of trouble, conflict, and words. Then came an unexpected meet and greet with best selling author Richard Wright.  From that point forward he started writing and perfecting his craft by writing a novel, book reviews and then "Giovanni's Room." As the story goes about Baldwin who was ever so flamboyant, and openly gay, he never gave up.  He used his voice to be powerful and with that many people heard him.

These two men have a great deal in common.  They are master's of their craft but more importantly they embody a true message.  A message of being powerful isn't about material items or where you live, it's about using your mind in the highest and greatest way to create a better view for yourself and for others. 

As we think about today's society and all the rhetoric and craziness that's bestowed upon us, we also have to think about how we can use our power just like Russell Simmons and James Baldwin did in his day. 

In order to have true power like these two men, you have to leap deep within to find the true being within who you are.  Russell Simmons found his through music, culture, and love.  James Baldwin found his through literature, writing, fighting for his life and love.  What's the common denominator; "love." With love comes true passion for all things life, and that set's the stage for true power within you.

WRITING FOR YOUR LIFE

Here's a new one for all of you to think about; "writing for your life."

When you write for your life, you are essentially saying you are putting your blood, sweat and tears into your story.  It says you are creating the best story you can possibly create from within. 

I know a thing or two about writing for your life.  I have authored over 12 books, host a literary talk radio show, and publish over 8 blogs. 

My love is literature and, with that, when I am creating a story for my audience, and potential readers I am saying, I'm putting my all into it no matter what. 

Being creative comes from within along with some instruction.  As long as you exercise that creativity and use your instruction you can create a story that's out of this world. 

All of it comes from within you the storyteller, which means you are writing for you life to tell the best story you can possibly tell.

Today, take heed and get creative and write and for your life.
