The Power Of Fiction


"Read away and let your imagination soar." By Poet......
I love books both new and old, did you know there is power between the pages? A book is made up of paper and ink, the words give power to the fiction. As a reader one can go many places, learning about life and living. Reading can bring one's imagination to life, as you turn the pages reading away. We can place ourselves and feelings in the story, as we become one of the characters. Sometimes it will take our breath away, other times it may put us to sleep. As a writer our imagination comes alive, when the ink hits the paper. The power of fiction, can take us over as we write. The letters become words, then the words become sentences. Our story becomes alive for the reader to enjoy, after all we write for our readers. As we write happy or sad, the reader's feelings will come out. We hope the reader will enjoy, our vision for the poem or book.

Poems and fiction take us to wonderful lands and experiences. I can't claim to be a voracious reader. But some great biographies and books of fiction, I read in one sitting. Some are so impressive and can relate to every detail. You have analyzed the impact of reading from the writer's and reader's point of view.

A warm, accessible free-verse reflection on the shared magic of reading and writing. The poem’s straightforward, conversational lines celebrate how fiction carries us into other lives, places, emotions, and dreams—and its closing emphasis on the reader gives the piece a generous, uplifting heart.

So, so true. How powerful books are! I just happen to be translating a book from Hebrew to English right now about a lady who became THE authority on kindergarten education in Israel from the 1950's through the early 1980's. She explored the world through books at an early age. As a kindergarten teacher on a kibbutz, she had her students pick out 'treasures' from the machine shop, carpentry shop, laundry, garage, and various other places - and then build 'castle to the sky with them.' Fascinating stuff! Cheers, Gershon

"Our story becomes alive for the reader to enjoy, after all we write for our readers. As we write happy or sad," -- Ain't that the truth. Well said. Love fiction. Please read my short stories and tell me what you think. A few, though, are very scary. Have a great weekend my friend.
