Writers Write To Write

Quote By Poet "Art can come from anywhere.
 
Paint with paint or paint with words."
 
Writers write to write with pen or computer in hand,
         
we hope when done it will be grand.
                               
The day could start out writing slow,
               
as the words now start to grow.
                                     
Day turns into night then back to day,
                             
as our fingers want to play.
                                             
Is it now time to eat,
                                                     
lunch must be in a bowl at our seat.
                               
Our letters and words,
                                                   
are flying across the page like wild birds.
                         
Is this leading us on our merry way,
                               
never knowing what we might say.
                                 
At last the day is done,
                                                   
it has been filled with creativity and fun.
                         
Off to bed to get some sleep,
                                         
now time to count the big blue sheep.
                             
Will dreams give me a new poem to write,
                       
is this crazy writing world my birthright.

My thoughts when I write or paint. This poem will resonate with me when I do either. Excitement, patience, tenacity, my talk written down, exposed feelings, hope for an outcome of some kind. It was lovely,energizing,motivating,and inspiring. Congratulations to both talented writers. I want to be like you when I grow up :)

Dear Paula, it's such a wonderful feeling when our words take flight. At different times, my feet are grounded, and then all at once, I'm floating on a cloud. Keep painting beautiful images with your words my dear friend, because when you do, you created a Masterpiece. Congratulations on Poem of the Day. My best to you. :) Hugs, Brandy

The irony of writing, in my opinion, is that it is a very solitary occupation, and yet the fact that we want to share our words with others...and thanks to the internet, can do that quite easily...makes it a very social one, as well. But, I, for one, wouldn't want it any other way. An excellent selection for POTD, Paula, and BOL in the contest.
