The Groove

If you have to try, do not bother. The true writer does not wonder What would Walt Whitman think of this line or this line Am I not being abstract enough Do I use well my literary devices when he writes delicately of countryside sunsets that look like oranges dipped in lemon juice and life and death and heaven and hell encompassed or when he writes sonnets with roses to his begotten love checking structure, syllables, iambic pentameter perfect rhyme scheme because without all that, it is no good. The writer is a man and a mouse and a lion when the occasion calls for it. He does not live to write He writes to live English teachers will have you thinking differenty as well as many best selling authors. If you got the groove, you got the groove, and all you need to do is to dance, dance, dance. For, I am that blue-moon madman with razor eyes and I dance and I dance until the day's life is out of me. I feel good, like a master, like a wizard, like I've done something worthwhile. After, I am left with a feeling of emptiness like a dead goldfish as if I had done nothing at all.
