@Silenus - a question if I may? I have episodes where everything I think is in forced ryhyming poetry, often pentremetre but sometimes not. Some of the rhymes are excruitaing or very slim indeed... But my brain latches onto this way of thinking. 

Going to the shops, or talking on the phone becomes quite a challenge as I have to pretend I am not speaking/actually thinking in forced poetry.  

Does this happen to you? I noticed a lot of your poetry is rhyming and rhythmic - if not exactly pentremetre. Do you get stuck in times when all your thoughts are in poetry modalitie? I ask because I have not ever met anyone else who has this form of whatever it is...psychosis?

Thinking In Rhyme

Whenever I'm hypo, I talk and write in rhyme,
I can't turn it off, always keeping time

All the bloody time
It really is a crime
Especially when I'm high
The rhymes come out and fly
It's compulsion at its worst
With rhymes at every burst
It's compulsion at its best
As I rhyme at its behest

Yeah... I can't control it when I get like this
I think it's a hit that others think a miss
It's a beat of my heart and a rhythm of rhyme
Words all entwined, and each in their time...

It's extraordinarily difficult to break out of when I'm in it @MoonGal

Hahaha... yay... another weirdling like me... hahaha...

Hi @Former-Member 🙂

I'm really well at the moment... after 3 months depression followed by a mixed episode followed by a touch of rapid cycling...

Now I'm hypo hypo hypo, channelling all of that energy in writing...

It's intoxicating... but I'm keeping one foot gently on the brake... from my past experience, it wouldn't do to fly too high...

Sun block with SPF 1 million wouldn't be enough to stop the burn if I really spread my wings and fly... hahaha...

I've had a fantasy novel parked for over a decade... I wasn't ready to write more...

Now, I've got 3 major story arcs and most of my plot devices and characters sorted... 3 days of compulsive typing and inspiration...

I love this phase of the creative writing process... it's magnificent...

Sending salt-encrusted hugs and happy happy vibes your way oceangirl73... 🙂

How have you been?

[Silenus]

I'm glad you liked it. Lots of hugs and happy vibes beaming your way...
