Writers

Some write for fun Others write for fame Some seek to raise questions Others seek to entertain Some write flowing prose Others write quirky rhymes Some find solace in their writes Others find only difficult times Writing is the soul speaking volumes As our inner self cries out to be heard Writing is the mind's way of purging All those trapped feelings and words So we grab a phrase that comes to mind And we write on as we must Never knowing if a gem lay just beyond Or whether we will throw our hands up in disgust As evidenced by this write of changing cadence I feel not constrained by rules and such Writing to me is an expression of feelings Although some will conclude I am out of touch Your writing should convey who you are Not who you want to be For if you cast a shadow of deceit Your writing will appear as just so much debris
