Writing poetry or songs, does your partner analyse romantic references?

I guess the underlying question is whether creativity comes from real-life experience in some form, so if you write the line "When she comes walking down the street, I wanna sweep her right off her feet, take her home and take her to bed with me" should this be accepted as fiction and is it paranoid to imagine that the writer has actually seen someone he wants to do that to?!

I've experienced this myself. When I write poetry, I write about personal experience, but I also write things that have nothing to do with me. I can put myself in someone else's shoes, and write from a whole different perspective, like writing about total strangers.My hubby seemed to always think I was writing about ME.

I've written happy love poems and sad love poems, and he thought I was writing them about us. It made me very uncomfortable when he analysed my poems this way. I guess it is mainly from jealousy or insecurities, but yes, being paranoid describes the way he analysed them.

My love of poetry comes from my love of words, and my love of rhyme, and fiction is just as important as real-life (non-fiction). I suggest you tell your partner that you will let her know if something you write is about YOU. Good luck with your writing.

1 As poetry, that's kinda thin stuff. There was a time and a place for that kind of overwrought imagery. In the context of a 1950s song, it works, by a kind of collective belief that it was the sort of thing to say.In a modern song, it would sound terrible.

They do it anyway, and you simply take it in context. It makes lousy music, but it's still the basic formula of romantic-comedy movies. If men actually did in real life what they do in the movies, they'd be arrested and slapped with a restraining order.

It's fiction, and you give it suspension of disbelief. You put yourself in its world, and it pushes the emotional buttons. Or fails to, if it's executed badly.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
