Stars in Mars

As I think, words form through ink.
Transporting my mind to a paradise of its own.

Where words are distanced by spaces, sentences distanced by lines, stanzas held together by gravity.
Each word forming a bond with each other.

Some words dance to the beat.
And some stand
Alone.
Travelling from one page to another they populate this colorless world.

Author's Note

I was trying to describe the feeling I get when writing.

this was a stellar work. as a writer, it is relateable but im sure non-creatives will be elucidated. the writing process is so hard to describe but you explain it in a way a child can understand, and i like that. words are our friends and they bring colours to an otherwise dreary life. you captured this sentiment superbly. thanks for sharing.

Words are magical! It is so true that ink forms the words and that each word forms a bond with the next as they run into sentences and the sentences turn into stanzas and a new poem or a new story is born. Some words are meaningful standing alone and other words move to the rhythm of the poem or story as they travel from one snow white page to the next creating colour in a world devoid of colour. What a wondrous write, Mr. Black! So thought provoking, so much said about words in so few words! I love the layout of the poem and the title of the poem paints a beautiful picture for your reader! Stars on Mars. How mysterious! Outstanding write, superbly expressed and depicted. I so enjoyed reading! Thank you so very much for sharing, dear poet...

Thanks so much for the kind review. I didn't expect to get such a kind review. At first I wasn't sure whether I should post this poem. So I decided to step outside my comfort zone and try adding some structure to the poem.
