Write

Those who write creatively can relate....

Are your thoughts put on paper first?

Reviewed and scoured.

Re-written and cursed.

Are your trials remembered in graphite or ink?

Doubted and believed.

Edited for sync.

Are your feelings typed and not erased?

Glaring and raw.

Emotions to be faced.

Are your dreams chronicled in a little book?

Secretive and personal.

To be given a second look.

Written in times, great or tragic,

Every stroke proves

Words are magic!

Author's Note

It is a privilege to write and be read, never to be taken for granted.

I like your author’s note the best. I feel that taking up someone’s time should not be taken lightly. I feel it’s our duty to offer writing that’s interesting, entertaining, enlightening – SOMETHING! But many writers feel the purpose is to relieve oneself of some burden, pouring out angst or ranting about wrongdoings or pining over heartbreak. etc. That’s my spiel for today, but I’m worked up over reading so much gibberish for too long today!

Your poem is an original accounting of many ways we might approach writing or what it requires or how it goes down. This is an artful & playful list of ideas, but I’m not sure any of these lines touch that deeper chord which a writer is often trying to reach. These are all useful ideas of how writing can unfold, but where is that sense of purpose? What does each writer hope to accomplish thru this medium? These are the more meaningful details I find myself pondering, more than the superficial trappings of how writing manifests in a physical sense. I don’t mean that to sound as derogatory as it came out. I’m just comparing possible approaches (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

Thank you for your input and time in reading my work. You've posed some good questions that I would probably answer differently on any given day. Looking back at my own writing, I find that it actually highlights the wishy-washyness (couldn't even think of a real word) of my humanity. Words come and go..... : )

Perfect! I love your response to this. I also feel completely different about what I wrote on your piece a few days ago! *smile*
