The Writer In Me Says

The writer in me says I must be,
creative and filled with life.
My pen is not filled with ink,
but filled with imagination.
My veins are not filled with red blood,
they are filled with rich blue ink.
The writer in me says it is time to retire my pen,
a new way to write is now by computer.
Will a computer machine replace the famous pen,
I think not.
I argue with my muse,
then I argue with the computer.
What is a writer to do,
keep writing until the words come out right.
The writer in me says I am broken,
do I fail to see my limitless potential.
I am searching my keyboard,
looking for new words to write.
Words-ideas fill my head,
will a masterpiece ever appear.
A true poet's work is never done,
I must say~write on-write on until it is done.

i enjoyed this, paula! i still (and will always!) write my poems with a pencil and, after they are done, type them on the computer. the idea of sitting at the computer to write is something i can't relate to at all, but i know that most people do that nowadays...
