Reach Out
As writers we all seek true satisfaction
To know our words are more than just a passing distraction
To reach this elusive goal we must set a few things aside
Like our ego, our self focus and our false sense of pride
To write is to express feelings that would otherwise be lost
But to read others works is to learn, be it an unknown or a Robert Frost
So write-on by all means but take the time to also read and take note
For other writers are also unsuspecting teachers so don't miss the boat
