content: Raw by Isaiah
Since the breaths of Be Creative, Isaiah has been involved in some form or fashion with the evolution and development of what is now called Vividus Connect. While the forum is a breakaway from Hortorian, the grounding principles of fostering creative individuals is still much the same as its parent. However, what is no longer the same is Isaiah who has come a long way in his development as a writer, but foremost as a poet.
He titled his poetry thread "Raw" in reference to the style of poetry he would being laying bare to his audience: Isaiah writes raw poetry. In his own words, "You'll find few scenery descriptions, sprawling metaphors, complicated schemes, unnecessarily extended ideas, or excessiveness of any kind in it." His style began taking shape back in 2011 when he started writing "in a bare-bones, direct, Bukowski-ish style."
Isaiah's preference for this over traditional poetry styles can be attributed to direct and raw approach to poetry: traditional styles, after all, have a habit of waffling. He aims for "short, comprehensible, and reader-friendly" poetry, which relate back in some fashion to love, alcoholism, and death (in order of frequency).
Isaiah notes his poems are growing in length as he becomes more proficient, yet he tries "to keep it very trimmed down."
While some of his poetry is lengthy (thirty-seven lines), the content remains direct, understandable, and quite user-friendly for the reader (even if they are not well versed in poetic trends/styles). His poetry relates closely to bare human expression; a directness into human nature through poetical means and condensed down into the essence of emotion, action, or feeling.
