In This Act I Am Alive

In This Act I Am Alive

A Poem by Working Class Scarecrow
"

How I describe the feeling of writing.

"

the thing about writing, for me anyway...

is that i can feel each letter being pulled from my being.

and in this act i feel alive.

               like when you ride a bicycle down a steep hill

sometimes it's short lived...

                      sometimes i have time to really think about it

while
it's happening

                        
     and i feel the wind in my hair,
                 and realize...

                              that isn't wind....
                   it's the sensation of myself,
 moving through the air.

The dictionary describes a moral, as a message conveyed or a lesson to be learned, from a story or event. This piece certainly emphasises lateral thinking; viewing one event, through different perspectives.

An excellent example of creative writing. Well done!
