Writers Write, Right

When the time comes for inspiration
  they begin to look for some introspection.
Then we put to paper an encryption
  of the words in our imagination.

When the writer begins to write
  he hopes the words come out right.
Sometimes he has to fight
  so his page will not be fraught with blight.

Sometimes the words can come with such ease,  
  the pen to paper without a tease.
The writer doesn't even know if he's
  putting into words imagery that will please.

Some like Rhyme or Haiku
  Free Verse or Sonnets others may do.
Whatever his words may come to
  the written emotions are now all true.

To continue his work is a must
  upon it the words can have no rust.
All he can do is shake off the dust
  and in his words, put all of his trust.

When others read them they may not agree
  for each in his own way the words will see.
I know the thing that fills my writing with glee
  is that the emotions and words...have come from me.

Heart felt and so very true. Great form and rhyme that I truly enjoyed reading - a pleasure. If time permits, please see if you can relate to "Rhetoric Lost Cost" near bottom of my page - I would love to know if it applies to you. Blessings, my friend ... CayCay

I'll try to get to it, but may take a few days as I'm up to _ _ _ in alligators right now. As always, thanks for your words of encouragement.

You rightly nailed it amigo. Sometimes the words just pour out, other times they must be forced to join the parade! Either way the poet must put the ship into port and secure the "lines"> A7
