Poetry, Dedication

Ok, so it has been a day or two since I last posted. Want a reason? Well, I wanted to post a poem. The problem with that is that I didnt know what to write. When I write poetry I dont just settle for whatever, I need it to be good, really good, before I let other people see it. But I haven't really written any poetry this year, it has mostly been short stories and stuff for English Writing, because in that class most people preferred poetry, so I had to be different and focus on stories. Thats because I don't like to conform to the majority.

Today has been a normal day. You know, on the phone to Becbec :).. Ooh also, I went into the supermarket by myself. I hate going places by myself, I always need someone to go with me. But I went in BY MYSELF!!! Proud anyone?? I am. But its not going to happen often!

Black and white
A faded photograph,
My memories of you
Are fading and breaking,
Years are passing
Taking me from you,
A warm embrace
I can never get back,
Words of compassion
Only you could give,
A home to be held
Within my very heart,
The pain is fading
Floating away,
As I whisper
A final goodbye

Dedicated to my mother, as an early 47th birthday present. She died of cancer when I was little. I will have another poem written for her and post it on her birthday.
Thats the best I have been able to write in a while. I kind of like it, but it wasn't really what I had in mind.

And speaking of dedicated, DEDICATION. I have said before that I want to write a book, well, the reason I havent yet is because I lack dedication. Like, I start, then stop for the day or something and I never continue. Like, I have written stories that are over 20 pages long, but I stop and never finish.
I spend a lot of my time reading and writing Fan Fiction (Fan Fiction is writing stories based around characters or themes from something, ranging from books, to movies, to bands and tv shows. Harry Potter is a major thing to write in within the world of Fan Fiction. google Fan Fiction and you will then know). A lot of Fan Fiction based of books or movies or tv shows are even better then the original.
(Harry Potter fanfiction on fanfiction(dot)net has over three hundred thousand stories!) I like writing fan fiction because everything is already created, all I need to write is the story line. But even with fan fiction I put it down for the night and I dont continue it again, or I do, but rarely.
I love reading things, because it is all written, its not MY imagination that everything is coming from, so, then I dont know what is about to happen.

Anyways.

Sleep Well my little grasshoppers!
