What is Great Writing

Requires focus like knitting No, not really We all can do better rejects acceptied pieties throwing customs to the four winds but that doesn't ring true no bird out of a gilded cage flew... it's just luck, I can't express it when writing comes together When every key your fingers measure unlocks the reader's pleasure

Thanks, P! It may be the last line of this poem, but I hope I still have a few lu-lus left in me. ~ Tra, la, gw

A positive poem with many thoughts. I need unfettered down time to write. Thumbs up.

I love it when I struggle for days to get a poem right and then it suddenly clicks…. But nothing beats the sensation of words appearing on screen when you’re barely aware you’d thought them… so long as you like what they say, of course. Enjoyed.

You sure those words appear on those screen all by themselves, Terry. Aha! I knew someone would prove my theory some day. ~ Lazzaro Spallanzini

Every poem has its merits for at least one person. Some people like gore and some like romance. LOL..Thanks for sharing this one with us and for dropping by my pages. Sara K

Some even like politics. Imagine that: 'Four score and seven beers ago, my four fathers staggered onto this land.' ~ Abe 'Stinkin' Drunk' Lincoln

well said, Gershon. How words come together is nothing short of a miracle--at the very least, it's an experience I marvel at. Loved the write....have a blessed day, Sara
