I Write

I  write because I want to shout

And yet I cannot speak

I want to tell some things in me

But I feel I am weak

 

I write because I want to open

To make all things so clear

I do not know if one will find

The same sounds that I hear

 

I write because I want to share

The gift that now I keep

To some it maybe ordinary

But  to others it  could be steep

 

I want to write, I want to shout

I want to open and share

I want to reveal, I want to help

To show that I love and care…

Author's Note

Just a writing exercise...

When there's something that we want to share we don't just say it with words . We show them what we see and feel and think. Using all our five senses disguise under metaphor and simile. There's a slight difference between telling, writing and showing. But as writer and poet we do all.

So don't just write
what you think and feel.
Take me where you are.
Show me where you've been
Show me how you feel.
Take me there
and
show me why you felt
the words you are writing
here ...

Oh my, I may have created a short piece....

[Dhaye]

Wow! That's already a short piece, Neil. But sorry, I am not so good in using metaphors. I am just a simple writer. I also tell everything but not through my pieces but through confessing to people I trust and respect. :)

Don't sell yourself short again. Your masterpiece " Taking Flight " made the first and last impression on me. That would be a title belt.

[W R Stowe]

Very meaningful and understandable for the average Joe to understand.I've seen some I require a dictionary to read cause not being familiar with them

[Dhaye]

Thank you.

[W R Stowe]

Your welcome

[Tom]

Yes indeed Dhaye, the pen can be so expressive and transcends beyond the normal realm of the spoken word!

An edifying poetic espousal to the written word !

[gabrielle]

Indeed, we write for different reasons. Though i prefer action rather than words, there are times that our pen could best express our love and care. Glad you are back at writing, dhaye. :)

"I want to write, I want to shout
I want to open and share"

You are doing that with your readers. I have missed your writings. It has been a while indeed. Excellent...:)........................

[jacob erin-cilberto]

but it is an exercise in truth....i write for similar reasons...
it's because i need to...but also to share feelings and let others know that another is going through similar emotions as they.

[Dhaye]

[SquinklaPsyOps]

This is artistically done. You put it together with much thought and skill. It makes a reader think, which is what poetry should do. I enjoy this clean and easy flow and reading your work each time.

[Dhaye]

Thanks, Anika.

[Eddie Davis]

Very well expressed, many of us feel exactly the same way.

[Dhaye]

LOL. Thanks, big bro. You are very supportive.
I feel like having a writer's block for so long so I tried to make something as an exercise. :)

[Eddie Davis]

Even your exercises are well done.
