Why I Write Here I sit in the late night Staring at a brightly lit screen My fingers poised on the keys Waiting for the words to come. I wonder what drives me to Sit here night after night Struggling to find the words That scrabble in my thoughts I write to say I love you Making sure the people Who are closest to me Have my words to remember I write when I am hurting In attempt to try to exorcise The demons that swirl inside And haunt this heart of mine I write when I am angry To vent out this emotion That builds and intensifies Without hurting the ones I love I write when I’m happy To share the joy I have found And so I can have these words In my more trying times I write because it beckons me It calls to me, softly chanting My fingers moving over the keys Beyond my control as words flow. I write because I find myself When I feel lost and alone It brings me home..finds me Bringing me the comfort I long I write because it has been my friend Something I can always turn to My constant that is always there Waiting to offer me solace I write because it is who I am. I posted this in the open forum.. but I thought it would be a nice way to start posting here. I thought I would pop in over here.. the pub has been popping up in replies lately  So I thought I would come over and see what all the talk was about .. hehe  ~~Tara aka rp25 :o) |

Tara, good work. Those are pretty much the same reasons I write. I guess it's the same for all poets. Great job describing the 'why' of a poet. Elizabeth Something sweet, something sort of grandish, sweeps my soul when thou art near... [email protected] |

Nice summary of why we all write, but you forgot one. We write because we can't stop! |

Elizabeth - Thank you I think it is basically the same for all us poets.. that and a slight case of insomnia  kcsgrandma - lol.. You make a very good point! Maybe I have to add a stanza in there Thanks for stopping in Jon - Thank you for the welcome I've been wanting to get over here for awhile. I guess I put it off because I am used to the open forum.. it's kinda like home ya know? lol I'm glad you liked the poem |

Rosepetals - You surely captured the very essence of a poet. We write because we are... This is wonderful. Bonnie |

Rosepetals, You express it so well the reasons many of us write, thank you for sharing this thoughtful work. Dennis :^) Moonbeams radiate When the veiling cloud has past Playful shadows dance Dennis L. White :^) |
