I really like rain. I think that is sets the mood for many things. There is alot to "the mood". What is a really awesome, if you aren't in the mood. Or a magical night with someone special if the magical mood is gone. It just lacks that puch, or that...specialness. It is funny how things like rain, or stars, or music can set the mood. I wonder what the mood for this post would be. How do you feel now. Are you really happy. If you come back when you are really sad then it will probably have a different feel about it. Do you ever wonder what the author is feeling when he writes something. What if Vicor Hugo was feeling really happy when he was writing the scene where Marius is mourning the death of his friends? What if He was extraordinarily happy for a long time when he was writing that part, so that he couldn't write it. I wonder if his happiness ever frustrated him? " why can't I just be sad so that I can finish this chapter." Or perhaps he just read what he had written to that point, allowing the words to set the mood for him
The mood can do wonderful things. The poem below is a great example. I don't consider myself very gifted at writing. That is part of the reason that I have this blog, is to improve on my writing skills. But the poem below I consider very good. I hope that you think so too. Well that was written at 1:30 in the morning on night. I had just spent one of the greatest nights with one of my friends, and what had happepend kept running through my brain. You know like before Christmas when you can't sleep because you keep thinking about what is in those presents. Or the day before you go to the MTC, and your brain is full of thoughts of the future. Well that Is what was happening to me. The mood was set, and it was so powerful it wouldn't let go of me. The only escape was through venting it out into a poem. And that is what resulted. Amazing isn't it. I have tried several times since then to write some poetry, but none of it comes close to the following peice.
So those are my thoughts on the mood.
