My 2nd Awdl Gywydd
Massaging words into verse ~
this blasted curse Life gave me;
Prose oft feels... not... quite... enough
to set this stuffed up mind free
Sometimes, smooth stanzas don't flow
to my deep woe and sorrow;
But when rhymes thwart this tired quill,
there still awaits tomorrow
Dissatisfaction with the 1st
I just recently discovered Welsh forms of poetry and have been rather smitten by them.
Yesterday’s Awdl Gwydd (my first), which I titled ‘Form, or: Substance’, left me feeling somewhat dissatisfied (particularly with with the 2nd stanza), regardless of how much I attempted to massage it.
Writing this, my 2nd Awdl Gwydd, felt redemptive 😊
The Skeptic's Kaddish 🇮🇱 
Really enjoyed this piece. I’m still smiling at it now actually. It feels, fresh? Lively? Perhaps it’s my mood interacting with it as well. 🤔. I like it a lot. 😁
Thanks so much, Rabbit 🙂
Your reaction is interesting – to me, it feels real – because that’s really how I was feeling about writing poetry at the time (and in the previous poem too). I guess ‘fresh’ is a good word – as in: a bit ‘raw’ …
Sincerely,
David
Going through your work, time and again can open up new dimensions… It’s wonderful
Wow, Lucky (is that the name you prefer?)
Thank You!
That is such a kind compliment – I deeply appreciate it.

Yeah – any of the three does it for me. I’m learning from you 🗣️
We all learn from each other here on WP – I’ve grown so much in less than a year when I started writing on this blog!

My question is that I want to be successful in blogging so what do I need to do?
Raman, there are really two factors (I think)
1) Create content that other people want to read, and
2) Interact with other bloggers on their blogs and on your own blog in a meaningful way that makes them want to reciprocate and read your blog too.
That’s what I’ve been doing for the past year, since I created my blog.
Sincerely,
David
