PURPLE BUBBLE

It is hard to put into words what I've been feeling these past few months in the life of music without PRINCE. I think I have yet to feel any kind of deep emotion in the loss of PRINCE for the fact that I've been consistently listening to his music these past few years even before his death. So I guess you could say I've been trapped in a purple bubble ignoring any kind of rumors and what not in regards to his death. But in truth outside of that, I do feel a disappointment behind his death and that's hard to put into words.

When I say purple bubble I guess you can say it's a metaphor for consistently listening to Prince's music. Because his music is visual so colorful words in tones and sounds it makes you think and for me, it is very inspiring. Through that inspiration, I've been able to write many poems and after many years of not being able to write a poem it just came back to me that day of his death. I found my muse once again after not writing anything for the past 10 years before that April 21.

So I rediscovered poetry in a different way and went back through my archives of poetry that I wrote many years ago. Seeing these poems and I've written so many years ago some made me laugh some made me wonder what was I thinking when I wrote this?  So I went back through and edited some and started posting poems to my poetry blog called My Moment of Inspiration.

I guess for me writing these poems gave a voiced my emotions on how I felt about PRINCE and the music he left behind. Through his passing and dealing with these emotions I've written quite a few poems so far this year that I've been inspired by him and some of them are Saying A Prayer For The Lonely One, If I Could Sing, His Name Is Prince, Shake It Like It's Fake, Mary Soul and most recently I wrote one called Purple Love Child the list of poems continue on and if you're a PRINCE fan like me, you can easily pick out the ones that are inspired by him. 

Before his passing other poems that were inspired by him where Cool As You, To The Dawn And Back and Died which I wrote inspired by his album COME and on this album he acknowledges the changing of his name by talking about himself in the past tense in one of his songs.

Even though I enjoy sharing my poetry with people I feel a sense of how emotional connection to them as if they were like children. Even though I share these poems with many people it is rare that I get a comment or input that is productive criticism that would help me better my skills as a poet. Is prince took pride in every song that he wrote and performed I feel like I have that kind of pride and every call my right so when I do get criticism it doesn't go well and most times I get upset over it and I hope those of you reading this understand.

Enclosing, Peace Love and Purpleness
