The Writer Must Write

the stimulating scent of ink,
tantalizing textures of the paper,
and the fantastic feeling of freedom
of the wondrous written word

in this splendid space I escape
I have infinite independence
through my creative communiqué
for this, I am absolutely grateful

to struggle through to the finish
and finally identify and convey
the impressions that cascade
throughout my consciousness

to know I can articulate
the often reflective ramblings
within the core of heart and soul
is an awe-inspiring feeling

to get these intense imaginings
out of my mind and onto the page
is an amazing sensation of success
that only other writers understand

the act of writing is for me, liberating
in the calm of the day, I sit, I reflect,
I immerse myself in thought and I write
defiant to any who would disquiet me

    Wonderful poem. You are so right. Writing is such a release for so many emotions. This was a delight to read this morning. Take care, Sandy

  • Great

    Yes, I understand! I relate! I totally feel the frustration of such a long time spent without putting pen to paper in a creative sense (or purring finger to keyboard as the case may be ).

    The only comment I have is that I think "is a amazing" should be "is an amazing"

    Great, high quality work, and one that could not speak more clearly to me at this stage in life. Please keep writing .

  • Excellent

    It's very jnice to return to such rich and accurate expression put to pen...thank you for sharing!

  • I had such a hard time recently finding words that were worthy of paper, and now I have finally started to flow again. I know this feeling so well, how wonderful it is to see the words finally in print and see how perfect they came. You truly are an amazing writer, my dear friend. It's good to read your work again. Hugs, Patricia

    Creatively Penned From The Heart!

    Indeed, how true..that voice of expression must come out on paper, on canvas whatever! If any poem lately expresses the poet's heart this one does...I love every line...All are my favorites! Keep penning our thoughts, poet! write!
