It Grows Wings

Look at the world through a writer's eyes,

See the blueprints of life through a writer's mind,

It seems quite different,

The colors may be more vivid

Or maybe dripping of dark shades,

The bird's song lovelier

OR just a pitiful excuse of a melody,

Whether it be lighter or darker

The sight through a writer's eyes is different indeed,

 

A writer's mind tends to wander,

The mandatory trivials of everyday

Are not enough to keep it grounded in place,

It grows wings

(Whether white or black)

And flies to a world all its own,

A world too largely vast and eccentric

To be anything but a writer's home,

 

It all is quite different,

No writer is the same,

One might see life as the flower,

Sitting in a lovely forest

As a light shower drizzles the sweet pedals with rain,

And another may see it

As the broken nature of existence

Sitting in a room

With walls covered in the sorrow and pain,

 

So if ever you find the urge

To see life through writer's mind,

I warn you

My dear friend,

To think wisely of the writer you seek,

For a day in the mind of Allen Poe,

Could leave you wth dark shadows

And horrid dreams you might have wished to never see,

But to look through the eyes of Thoreau,

Could leave you longing

To live a life not possble in today's reality,

 

One thing I can guarante,

My dear

dear friend,

Is a trip through a writer's mind,

And a look through a writer's eyes,

Will definitely leave you thinking.

[John McGrael]

this poem is very good!!! and it definitely appeals to writers everywhere!!! any writer, i love this poem

its not a very traditional poem either, its not traditional literature, it doesn't have a underlying theme (and if i did and i just missed it, im sorry =]), but i like that
its something different, and it has a very accurate depiction of a writers mind (of course it does... ur a writer!!)
