The throb of it beating,
veins pulsing with fire:
a thought being born -
pushing larger and higher!

Then timidness creeping
in self-induced fear:
"A writer? Ridiculous!
No one will care."

So you bury its heart
like potato-peel scraps,
or tie it in layers
of brown-paper wrap.

No more! Let it loose!
Set its eloquence free!
Give it threads of existence,
let everyone see!

Give a voice to its need,
let it whisper or cry;
give it space to expand -
give it wings - Let It Fly!

Yes, a pep talk powerfully written yet simply stated. Well done!

This is terrific, Lary.  I have some good friends who are uncomfortable about showing what they write to other people because they are afraid it won't be good enough, and others who won't even try to write.     Wish we could hire you for a rally. This is very well said.

Yes, how perfectly marvelous.  I eat potato chips often while I write......
