New Writers Take Heed

New Writers Take Heed By Franklin Price 6/2/2015 New writers take heed Of the words I write here I'm not well known at all Want to make that quite clear These words of advice May establish a link Try them on for size And see what you think Write for yourself Of what touches you Feel what you write It's what you should do Humorous serious Political droll Write of your feelings From deep in your soul Put down your opinions What you think about Makes you laugh or cry To be silent or shout Be true to yourself As you write along If that's what you do Then you'll never go wrong

I don't mean to be nosy but how is you husband? I am really happy for you that you have found such a calling. I really enjoy writing. I had a cancer operation about 2 1/2 years ago. So far so good. I started writing again because of my 50th high school reunion. Can't stop; don't want to. Thanks for sharing your life with me.

I started writing after my hubby had cancer surgery - I had never penned a poem before and it has totally transformed my life with a creativity and self confidence I never had before - when we go back to school in 2 weeks time I have been asked to do a 2nd talk to 6th formers on creative writing and then a follow up session - would never in a million years have dreamed my husbands cancer would bring me such joy!

I knew you were something special when I read your poems the first time you commented. We must be our own best friends and true to ourselves. Thanks for the attitude we have in common.
