Make No Apologies

If I waited for perfection, I would never write a word. - Margaret Atwood

Make no apologies for writing what you feel,

                                                  what you wish

                                                  what you know

 

Don’t fret over technical critiques

 

Write from your heart

          from your soul

          from your depths

 

It’s not a report card you seek

 

Writing  has power to cleanse

                                 to heal

                                 to renew

 

Revel in the joy that it gives

 

Just pour out your thoughts

                      your rhymes

                      your prose

 

It’s how a writer lives

A well versed noble logic and advise to all writers. I like the format too, eye catching one. Awesome.

[Rita L. Sev]

Thank you - I wasn't sure about that format. :)

[Ency Bearis]

I know the format is a free verse but it has this kind of ending message that nailed to readers.

The Margaret Atwood quote set the tone for such a delightful piece.

from your depths"
Your words have brought your light to me and to my depths; I enjoyed this piece immensely.
