Fictional Poetic Thoughts

Writing fiction 
Has no restriction
Unlike the journal writer on the list 
Asking ‘what is this’ 
Raising their fist 
Not allowing anything to be missed 
Dependent on a quote from someone else 
Driving them insane straight to mental health 
After a reporter decides they have the space and time 
A source says ‘I decline’ 
Only to call right before deadline 
Stating they are sorry 
Forcing a whole rewrite to an inch and half story
An author on the other side 
Has full control in this information ride 
As a writer 
A powerful imagination fighter 
Creating interpretive setting is the plan 
When distributing thoughts the reader will understand 
Relaxing and reflect 
If the subject matter is interesting and connects 
Only fantasy characters get hurt 
When throwing the dirt 
Story telling made up 
While drinking from a legendary bar fly cup 
A message is told 
Opening communication peacefully soothing the bold 
Characters may lie, die, or cry 
While others try, sigh, and inquire ‘why?’
These ideas give an author entertainment in their mind 
No need to drop a nickel or dime 
Encouraging them 
To pick up a pen 
And weave the scripture twine 
Playing God surgically working on Frankenstein 
Writing fiction 
There is no restriction 
Getting one’s way 
Despite no pay 
Saying it is okay
When tightening the noose 
On the artist’s targeted guilty muse
