Prodigal Writer

To write truly well Let heart and mind dwell. Words pave the sure way To create new say. Play with doodle sketch Until the right match. When you pen feels dry Just wait for new highs. Get ready to write As feelings now cite. There are many routes So fear not time-out. From your barren field New word sculptures yield. Feelings turn better Prodigal writer. Learn beyond learning Discern true knowing. Words ooze beyond norms With thoughts that transform. Do not fear failure Just use sure allure. The moments fly fast Just learn to outlast. Remember thoughts plain: Write and write again. Words stream in verses Like sweet molasses. By and by you learn, Discern well or burn. Art is not easy Let heart feel breezy. By bamboo pathways Let haikus fling play Begin now to write A lovely new rite. Leon Enriquez 06 August 2014 Singapore
