Write

“Write I will – until my heart stops – when the pen from my hand finally drops.” by author I write about love and the beautiful dance between those who fall into sweet romance. I write on my hobbies, on everyday things, and the wonderful joy a special day brings. I write even on every favorite food that I like to eat and movies I’ve viewed! I write about friends whose paths cross with mine, who shine like the stars when our planets align. I write about family, sisters so dear, and loved ones departed who’d brought me great cheer. I write my philosophies. Strange some might be. But I write of them if they matter to me. I write of my Lord’s most wondrous creations, of seasides, and mountains, and other locations. I write of my homeland with plains green and vast. My memories of it forever will last. I write about creatures, both wild and tame, and each precious pet that I’ve given a name. I write on the gifts with which I’ve been blessed and on life experiences that I’ve loved best. I write on my hardships and sometimes on pain and dreams I now realize that I dreamed in vain. I write many ways, most often in rhyme - oftentimes humorous, sometimes sublime. I write and I’ll write until my heart stops - when from my hand my pen at last drops.

Dear Andrea, of course congrats x, but more.. Sincere 'amazing well done, love it, good job' for simply and eloquenly curating the tick-list for all poets (me especially: tick, yep, done, tick, tick) who just cannot help trying to articulate their life experiences and repressed emotions into words.. it's great to know we are in such good company. Cx (fav, naturally)

Andrea, "I write and I’ll write until my heart stops-when from my hand my pen at last drops." Really enjoyed a poem of wondrous creations and creatures in a lifetime of writing. Too easy most days to lose one's way and stop dreaming., so please don't. -Richard
