Welcome to Episode 3 of The Jaime David Podcast! In this episode, I explore my poem “Perception”, the third poem I ever wrote on my blog, The Musings of Jaime David. This episode is all about looking closely at how we see the world, how our inner thoughts shape our reality, and how poetry can serve as a lens for understanding both ourselves and others. I dive into the meanings, inspirations, and reflections behind this early work, unpacking the themes that still resonate with me today.
“Perception” is a poem about perspective — how we interpret events, emotions, and experiences, and how those interpretations shape our understanding of life. In this episode, I discuss what inspired me to write it, the creative process behind crafting the words, and the lessons that emerged from revisiting it years later. Like the poems in the previous episodes, this is more than just a reading — it’s an opportunity to reflect on the evolution of creativity, the growth of a writer, and the universal questions that connect us all through art.
Throughout this episode, I share insights on how early works can reveal patterns and themes that persist throughout a writer’s journey. We explore the idea that perception isn’t just about seeing — it’s about interpreting, feeling, and connecting. By examining my third poem, I hope to inspire listeners to consider their own perspectives, how they shape experiences, and how self-expression through writing or other creative outlets can illuminate hidden truths.

Writing in Chaos: Why Creativity Feels Impossible Now — a somber reflection on why writing stops feeling like refuge and starts feeling like a chore.

#analysis #poetry #writing an analysis of my poem "rain" JAIME DAVID (reflection/analysis): Looking back on this poem… I feel like this was me just venting in a poetic way—but also trying to make sense of something bigger. The weather had changed, and it was frustrating, but also kind of eerie. It’s written in prose, but it has rhythm. There’s repetition—“constant showers, constant downpours”—and you can hear the tension building in the way I stack those lines. I didn’t fully realize it at the time, but that build-up mirrors the emotional fatigue of seeing gray skies every day. There’s a lot of contrast too: memory vs. present, stability vs. chaos, what New York used to be vs. what it was becoming. And that’s not just about weather—it’s about identity. Like the city I thought I knew was shifting under my feet. JAIME DAVID (societal connection): Now, the part that stands out most to me now is the mention of climate change. This was 2019, but even back then, I ...
