“Epic failures,”
someone once said.
But,
why… epic… failures?
;oxymoron, self contradiction.
But,
Thomas Edison pops in like a light bulb,
“10,000 ways not to build a light bulb.”
Find positivity in the disappointing,
hope in the discouraging.
Rainy days:
green grass, effervescent flowers.
Just like
Disappointing results when first-time attempting anything:
things can only improve.
Just like
Loneliness:
self reflection.
Just like
Disinterest in different styles:
increased passion for the style that you love.
Half of the fun directly results from
simply trying.
Belly laugh at each mistake,
Smile in the face of failure
& success will smile back!
Failures are epic,
Mistakes are glorious,
Errors are contributive.
This little attempt at poetry may have been one of my own epic failures. A major role model and mentor of mine suggested trying different writing styles to improve my writing as we discussed “epic failures”. My unsure state of thought provoked this idea– attempt a different writing style that I am not overly comfortable whilst writing about stepping out of comfort zones.
