The Writing Game

All of us here on Poetrysoup are in the writing game How to make cash? How to achieve fame? These are the questions We ask before taking up our task of filling up pages of writing for the ages We move our pens over pages white If we feel real inspired we can write all night The words pour out There are conventions to flout! Our words will make hearts burn And make our names great Now it is your turn For this is our fate

we can't make money from it. WE can only try to write a novel or something. But one can always dream!!!

I just write because I love poetry and when I am inspired by reading I enjoy creating. I write to leave something of myself for my children. It is not about fame or the money for me. It is very true for many though. I enjoyed this Matthew. ;)

OUr fate is to write and write and hope one day for that big break. haha. But what could it possibly be? For me, it would be to have my lyrics turned into a famous song. I already had the song made, by a guy who created a lovely tune for it. But the dream of it becoming a hit is not happening for us yet!! Anyway, we just keep keeping the dream alive. Write ON, Matt.
