The Window To The World on Life of A Poet: Chimnese

 Can you tell us about yourself?

My name's Chimnese I love books since I was very young. love art and philosophy I've become so interesting in the human emotions and what drives us. I have  a godson that is the pride and joy of my life, I'm family orientated. My hobbies would be running and long walks on the beach.


Which country do you live in now? What’s your profession? be general, no need to specify your location...


I am originally from South Africa. I am an accounts clerk for  a Property Management Company.

We’re happy that you have been part of Poets Rally as a participant, what has driven you to where you are in this particular community? 

My drive is to reach  a wider audience to read my poetry or any of my short stories. When I joined this community I knew that it would help in the long run to get feedback. But mostly I have also earned the respect of my fellow poets. We all want to be noticed and I am glad at Poets Rally we are  a multitude of talent that stretched from the Pacific to the Atlantic ocean.

How long have you been blogging? Do you think being part of a poetry community contributes to your creative writing?

I started my blog in 2009. Being  a part of  a poetry community did help me a lot and contributed to my knowledge I've picked up along the way.

Why poetry? Do you write fiction too?

I've been writing poetry since late September 2009, but my first writing was fiction. I now write in both spheres. My blog relates to both sides of my writing. Poetry has become one of my favorite seeing as I can write what's inside of me in  a few words and give  a straight answer to what is going on.

Please share 3 to 5 blog links you enjoy reading most, give 1 or 2 sentences to tell why you love their creative process.

1. Daydreamertoo
2. Rhyme without Reason
3.Charles Mashburn
4.Morning or Taylor Boomer
5.IBeingMe

Personally these are my favorites because I find their work amazing,but also there's depth and truth in the verses they write.

How do you know when a poem is done? your own experiences need to be shared here...

If the ending sums up the entire poem. And I know this works. Cos I can feel it and I know my readers would applaud it.

How do you decide when a poem is "good"? Do you redo your own poems after they’re posted? it could be poem someone else written..

Before my second editing I post it on my website. Just as raw as the words and sometimes readers would leave their views on some editing points.
I am not afraid of people criticizing my work. It can only help me to better myself.
 
Do you think music and poetry are related? Why?

I think it does because poetry has rhythm, it has feeling,it captures the readers mind. It leave them breathless, just like  a good song with lyrics that express everything you feel in one song. It touches the core, it captures your heart and leave you wanting to listen to it over and over. Like poem its flow.

What issues are closed to your heart? Women’s rights, child abuses, etc.…name one…



I'd say both issues, as well as human gender equality.

What’s your other hobbies besides writing? Do you have pets? Give us a picture if you own a pet.


I have no pets, but I do enjoy running.
 
Please list your blog links below, share 1 or 2 poems that represents best of your poetry talent

The Wait

We waited for this day to have come

For so long, but we never thought

This is how it would end.

The two of us meeting for the very first time.

We spoke so much about it,

Yet there you are, standing, your face

Looking panicked,

She  won't come, she must have seen me.

And walked off.

I see you looking around you.

You can’t see me standing there out of eyesight.

Deep down in the pit of my stomach,

It’s whirling and turning.

I myself was looking forward to this day.

But in my case I wasn’t hoping for you,

But for her to come through those sliding doors

At the airport,

Its another person’s face I wanted to see,

It was another person my face wanted to light up.

As painful as this must be,

I wish I had the nerve.

To

   Walk

           Away

But my legs didn’t want to



Forever & Almost

There's a song in my soul,
There's words being printed in the shape of my heart,
In the corner of my mind I know
That if this melody starts to get
Composed and restructured in the shape of what I know our love could be.
Its like forever and almost.
We had the forever,
But the almost came and took you away,
As words developed from the lyrics written upon my heart,
I'll tell you this I'll wait patiently,
Just come by and drop in,
Then I'll know you still care about me.
That its not forever and almost,
That its forever and always.

Participant Talent Show Week 11: Write It by Robin



Today, we are going to visit a special blog, the title of it is “Write It”, when you get there, you will notice that, her blog template is very unique, extraordinary, or outstanding, her blog itself has a perfectly attractive SHAPE, her poetry fall into the empty space with wide range of topics, strong emotions, and powerful love, which makes her blog a foreign and most impressive enjoyment for all of us.

I fall short of words to describe how talented and how creative this poetesss is, but right now, it is your turn to make the click, visit her to satisfy your curiosity….
Way to go, Robin Elizabeth, keep up the excellence!
Go to Write It blog via the link below and have fun today, Happy Sunday!


I picked one of the poems there to share, enjoy!

Inside by Robin
My pulse quickens.
I hear your words.
How do I respond?
I don’t have the answers.
I don’t know what you expect.
Of my writings, you’re not fond.
Emotions displayed in extreme condition.
Overly exaggerated to make a point,
Bitterness and emptiness are only a thought.
Contemplating life in the sense of what to write,
Half of these feelings aren’t even my own…
So these are the truths you have bought?
I see the pain in other people.
I feel it as my own.
How do I explain what I do not understand?
Every word I think to use,
Every sentence falls apart,
Collapsing like castles in the sand.
Can you understand that I am alright?
Can you see me how I am?
Instead of relying on part fiction to tell you…
This is who I am in the sense of writing.
Expressing everyone’s emotions I see.
That doesn’t make everything written true…

Inspiration of the Week 12

Welcome to The Poetry Palace and "Inspiration of the week". There are so much talent wthin the blogsphere and this week I have visited a blog that I am sure will inspire the others talented poets. I am Chimnese and it's a pleasure to be with you.



This poem was written by Hoofprintsn my garden

Pear Planting

January mud seeps
through my jeans
where I kneel in the orchard.
I scrape and cup
loose soil
pulling damp handfuls
from the planting hole.
My fingers break
into an old gopher hole
-- double layer of chicken wire there –
I hold
the bareroot whip of wood
like a stick figure
and scoot dirt around roots
firming and filling
each crevice.
An earthy scent of moist soil
rises.
Then, a thick blanket
of composted fall leaves,
old hay
and horse manure.
The roots will wait.
Their spring sleeping
in winter’s warmth.
