At first, I thought these poems were strange, which was why I was not very fond of the idea to write some myself. However, as soon as I started writing, it seemed to be incredibly easy to finish them in a relatively fast time.
I like the fact that even though one has not used a lot of time and too much thought on them, they would still appear to be rather powerful in their expressions and therefore able to come across with a message. 
My technique was rather easy,too. I happened to pick such powerful words as hatred, love , slavery and freedom. I suppose the less strong your words are in their meaning, the harder it will get to be able to find interesting adjectives and participles fitting to it. 
Also, when running out of words, I suppose a dictionary would be very helpful.

  1. It is interesting to note that both times you began with the negative and built up to the transition to the positive - a reflection of hope. Perhaps this is a positive reflection of the way you see life in general, recognising the ills but always looking toward the positive...

  2. I was asking myself the same question. However, i think the answer is actually that one you pointed out. :-)
