Poetic Expression: Are we all Poets?

                                                                   
                                What exactly is...

                            Poetic Expression?

...The most common poetic prose we use daily, Metaphors and Similes, is best demonstrated by Songbird, Madonna, when she uses the Metaphor, "Like a Virgin, being touched for the very first time..."

Can you give examples of any of your favorite Metaphors or Similes?

- -Is Effeminate a "Bad Word"in Shorts?

Grammar's

Effeminate vs. Feminine

Can I be both? If in grammar, both adjectives mean "Womanly," so why not. As I'm definitely a girly-girl...

....But, social bias says, well, yes and no. 

Because although a woman can be effeminate without negativity, societal rules dictate negativity for the same adjective in reference to men. As a man having characteristics and ways of behaving that are traditionally associated with women are regarded as inappropriate! 

 So, What's your take?

Taking a grammatic license with Phil/Feel in my Shorts!

                                                     Is Phil/Feel a thing? 

                    Hmm...Raving about the Massage chair at my gym this week, that I nicknamed Phil, pronounced "Feel" Did you understand this reference to the massager?

Does it go without saying that the nickname, Phil, uh 'Feel" stems from the penetrating vibrations of the Massage Chair, and thus, it's the way it makes me, "Feel." 

Did I succeed in making you laugh with this Phil/Feel play on grammar?

How "You," like a news reporter, can Write Consistently, in Short

                       How do you Write Consistently, 

     ...like a reporter under deadline, on a daily basis? 

Start by collecting Writer's Tools. These Tools, the essence of my forthcoming, 3 volume, beginning writer's series, will guide you seamlessly in your quest to get and keep your writing project progressing. 

What are they? Your first thought might be a fancy computer. But it's not. Instead, check the Dollar Store for mini notebooks that come 3 to a pack. Next, you need pins and pencils in multiple packs. 

                                                    Why?

Because when a news reporter goes on location to cover a story, they return to their computers with notes, videos and or pictures to guide the forthcoming story they are preparing to write.

 

So, like a Professional, with your primary Writer's Tools, you'll begin to collect notes, video and or pictures to guide your writing!

Because those notebooks and pens are stashed everywhere you linger. Ah...including around the aw.. Throne/Thrown. So whenever an idea or inspiration presents itself, you can quickly jot it down in the notebooks. Then tear the pages out and place them in a manila folder, labeled with your projects title or the chapter title, beside your computer. So you'll know exactly what you're writing on any given day!

Let me know if organizing your Writer's Tools actually helps to guide your focus when you sit at your computer to actually Write!

- -Fox TV Pays me to Tease! Come into my Shorts!- -Writer Hagin KIng"Duchess"

                                         

                                    TEASE: 

                    to Provoke a Person or animal in a Playful way-- 

hmmm....Fox TV Affiliate Channel 12 in Palm Beach paid me to TEASE: write Headlines and Copy aimed to lure viewers to the Evening News!

Officially titled an Associate News Producer for the broadcast, part of my reporting duties centered on getting viewers eyeballs on the Station's newscast. 

That included carefully constructed, timed video packages: a standup open, a middle and an end lasting 15 to 30 seconds. And the evening news that's written by me, that's read by the higher-ups. And the higher-paids!

Come into my Shorts: Lust or Love Semantics

 

                      Is it Ture Love or Lust? Synonyms or Semantics?

Synonyms: words or expressions in the same language that have the exact same meaning, or very similar meaning.

Semantics: the meaning of words, phrases, sentences or text. Aspect of meaning and word relations.

                  Hmmm, so, how closely do 'you think' Love and Lust are related?

   

Although the formal definition of LUST: a state of overwhelming sexual or physical attraction for another person. 

And, LOVE: an intense feeling of deep affection. A deep emotional connection. That may  lead to a desire to make a relationship last- -

* * *My Query centers committed Romantic Relations....

Because, if half of all marriages still dissolve due to causes like Infidelity or related issues like Jealousy or Money; if one professes True Love, but is Lust-driven into bed with you and others, during a committed relationship, is it LOVE or LUST from the onset?

* * *What do you think? Is it LUST or LOVE? And are these two concepts mutually contingent?
