Very true Monoku, Sara. I love the pen with the feather, reminds me that our thoughts are given the freedom of flight through the words we write. Hugs, Bill

It can be. Sometimes writing for some is non-sense. Thanks for sharing this one with us and the snapshot as well. Sara K

My favorite word in your poem is 'art.' Because it seems to me that writing is not merely 'an art.' It is 'art itself.' ~ Gershon and Gertrude Stein

I agree with you, Gershon. Writing is art...how powerful is that. I appreciate you and Ms. Stein visiting my page. Have a pleasant day, Sara

Well stated. Self discovery is certainly a touchstone of writing. Beliefs, too. Best wishes, Brian

well said, Kim...sometimes my poems reveal a secret about myself that I wasn't even aware of...boggles my mind sometimes! :-) Thanks for your insightful words. Have a pleasant day, hugs, Sara
