Writer's Cafe

Poets, writers, how I feel of being in this place

A community of writers all are we,

peddling our words for all to see,

our creations typed in rhyme and sketch;

words in skill forever etched.

Thought by thought we write our lines,

sometimes occasion hard to define,

we write our hearts, share our souls and

  will until we’re grey and old.

 

We render feelings on screen white,

sometimes late into the night,

put feelings into words our special gift,

we try to give all souls a lift,

try to find the brighter side,

in some cases to stem the tide.

 

We meet here daily from across the seas

  delighting in style each do weave,

threading colours in different shades,

in love with words, our poems as serenades.

By the year we work our craft,

swept along by any draft.

 

I’ve only been here awhile,

but time to recognise a smile,

from our space we see the world, as

  all our lines do unfurl,

WritersCafe, I’ve found my place,

made some friends, seen a face.

We paint our world by who we are

  with each line penned, us as shining stars!

 

 

Author's Note

Something I just wrote today, maybe a little repetitive though!

I have many of the same fond feelings about finding this place & I've enjoyed it for 2-1/2 years now. The thing I notice about your poem is that you focus primarily on the writing & everything you note is true & interesting . . . but I would suggest that many are here for lots of other reasons besides writing. This is a full-fledged social media site for many & much more rewarding than the fake Facebook or whatever else is out there. I think it's logical to write from your point of view, so what you share is totally valid. I think you are being a little (unnecessarily) self-doubting in your authors note (((HUGS)) Fondly, Margie

Thank you Margie for reviewing and I take on board your thoughts and suggestions. I thank you for the feedback, my appreciated.

'Writer's Cafe'
Richard M,
Hi the! Well this was a fun one. I appreciated it's lighthearted flow. It read like a beautiful ride along a creek with differing sights, sounds and smells. It read like the changing life patterns we as people all share. It read like the commonalities and experiences we identify with in each other's writing. Thank you for sharing your heart. It is refreshing!
Blessings,
Kathy

[Richard M]

Thank you Kathy, really glad you liked it. Thank you reading my friend.

Your welcome Richard,
I hope you are handling things where you are well. I suppose a statement like that means something different for everyone. I wish you well.
Blessings,
Kathy

I agree with this poem wholeheartedly. For a long time I have been writing poetry that would only be read by my own eyes. Writer's Cafe has let me share my writing and connect with other writers, and it has been amazing. I am glad to have found this website, and I am glad you have as well! There are definitely many inspiring writers here.

[Richard M]

Thanks Ally I too, write for my eyes only, but am happy to share my poetry here, and feel already among friends. Happy to share my little Word Babies here, and in so doing, a little of myself!

[Richard M]

I couldn't have said it better myself. Being a newbie also I joined after using Forward Poetry for so many years but due to the site not being upgraded (it was suspended due to bad people saying nasty things as far as I can understand). I feel so at home here and find all the comments so very helpful and eve thought I don't get to read as much as I'd like of other peoples work I've loved what I've read so far

[Richard M]

Thank you George

[Chris Shaw]

I'm fairly new here too Richard, and I have to say your poem reflects many of my thoughts. Writerscafe is a great place to come and read others poets and share your own writing. I've been on a few sites over the last decade, but this place suits my writing best. Thank you for your tribute to this place.

Thanks Sneh

I'm here since 7 years. Made friends and lost them as well just because I was a bit away from the site for sometime. But that never makes me sad because some people still exist to stay with you. Writerscafe exists not only because of the write ups that we post here. It exists because of the relationship that people strongly form with rhythm just 'our creations typed in rhyme and sketch' This write was absolutely a treat.

[Richard M]

Thank you so much for your words and your critique. I totally agree with your feelings about WritersCafe :)

[moog-drika]

like I said, the treat was mine :'D

Fantastic tribute sir!!
I had never imagined that I'd be speaking and can make friends who are far far away from me....but my illusion broke after appearing here....I think we should fix a date as writerscafe's birthday or wc day though every day is a wc day for us!!
....making a place close to you in just few days isn't easy always but am really glad that you're having a good time here...thanks for sharing this :)

[Richard M]
