I am a Writer

Words are Powerful as are the Wordsmiths

I am a Writer

 

 

I am a Writer

 

The creator of men

The destroyer of worlds

I can shackle the strong

I can liberate the weak

 

I am a Writer

 

With my thoughts I mold planets

With my words I wield power

With my pen I shape lives

 

I am a Writer

 

I am an immortal

With my words come permanence

My body may rot

But my spirt lives in

 

I am a Writer

 

Maya Angelou said words are things

And my words are things

The stuff of life

The primordial ooze from which all things originate

 

I am a Writer

 

The pen is mightier than the sword, at least mine is

Because my pen can become a sword

“this guy stabbed that guy with a sword”

See, I told you

 

I am a Writer

 

Do not doubt my power

I can create a beautiful world

“A vast expanse of green covering the rolling, hilly plains. Unkept grass swaying gently in the steady, summer breeze; waving and rippling like the waters of a massive but gentle lake under warm zephyrs”

And then I can burn it

“and it burned”

 

I am a Writer

 

I can give you a perfect life

“he had a great job, gorgeous mansion, beautiful wife, and three wonderful sons”

Just to take it away

“but the tornado destroyed his house, killed his family, and he fell into depression”

 

I am a Writer

 

I can kill you all

“Everyone logged onto WritersCafe died”

And resurrect you

“then they all came back”

Without you even knowing

“and they never knew”

 

I am a Writer

 

And when I leave you on that cliffhanger

Literally, a cliffhanger

“His legs dangled over the seemingly bottomless pit beneath him. The jagged rocks of the Cliffside tore at the skin on his chest and stomach. The agony was almost too much to bear. The pain in his fingers was unimaginable; a deep, fiery burn, begging him to relieve them of their duties. They could not be relieved, though, because their relief meant his death”

I could save you

“Then, in a sudden burst of strength and adrenaline, so strong it seemed like divine intervention, he found the strength to pull himself up.”

 

But I’m not that kind of Writer

 

Embrace your power

Reviews

[Kevin Horsley]

I am a writer because it allows me the freedom to express
I am a writer and I do it to impress
I am a writer because it relieves my stress
I find when I'm writing I'm at my best

I create characters in a situation
Which requires a little contemplation
Will they eat or suffer starvation
Some may die or achieve salvation

Writing was the only tool
That helped me to survive my school
The bullies in my world were fools
And I made sure I broke all the rules

I enjoyed your piece and have added to it - it is unrefined and a quick write but in there is a little of who I am and why. The whole story is much larger than the sum of its parts though.

A poet is someone who expresses and you have done so, it may not fit into a category but so what - who wants to be pigeon holed.

Keep up the good writes.

I am a Writer.
I have seen the dawn of creation
And saw it all tumble down.

I am a Writer.
I can open the window to new worlds
And allow you to climb inside.

I am a Writer.
I make you feel emotions you've never felt
And leave you longing for more.

I am a Writer.
I create the hearts of the good
And let them shine with all their worth.

I am a Writer.
I polish the hearst of the wicked
And let them taste power before they are destroyed.

I am a Writer.
Love me and fear me,
Because my power is absolute.

See, I added on to your poem. Great job. I often think about how much power we, as writers, have. The power may not exist in this world, but what fun would that be? Our power lies in the realm of our imagination, where anything is possible. Great job.

I enjoyed this too much I have a smile on my face, LOL. You are a writer indeed and this has to become a classic write of yours. Truly a work of art! Loved it! I know you want the reviewers to add to this but I am rather speechless your poem is just too awesome.

[Darius]

I really enjoyed this :D I like how the poem starts off as kind of serious, but then gets humorous. I could could seriously read this 10 times in a row and not get bored. awesome job!

[Kenneth The Poet]

Very descriptive and true to form. I love it!

[Dan Peacock]

Just.... brilliant. Makes you wonder. how much of writing is a quest for power?

[KimLove "The Beautiful ..]

To be honest. This is your best one yet that I read. This makes you a writer, everything you haved penned makes you a writer. ha! I am not a poet but yet the words keep coming. They come from my heart, they come from my head, most of all they come from my soul. So yes that makes me a writer... Just as it does you, you are a writer. xoxo ;p
