To write, or remain silent?
I ponder more and more...
And wonder what new pain, or grief
My writing holds in store.

For writing makes the feelings real-
It has more life than art,
For words indeed, are able to-
Seduce a person's heart.

A coward? Aye, I'm that and more.
I readily admit...
And wish I had the fortitude,
To simply up and quit.

To write? Or simply fade away-
I only wish I knew...
The wisest scribes who ever lived-
Have written things they rue.

Such truth in this stanza~
Pen on dear poet~

I write because it is a need that I have...a desire to fulfil...don't know if I could stop if I wanted to...whatever wants to come out will come out...doesn't necessarily mean that I feel comfortable posting everything I write on this site...but I post most of it...and I know I'm not the best writer around but all we can do is give our best...James

In my land, a cowboy poet without a pen is the equivalent of a cowboy without a horse!!!

Write (ride) on!!! Your talent must never be stiffled...it is a miracle of the muse!!!

Hurry up and slap out another one!! Or I'll challenge you to a duel...

I think once you start, it is no longer a choice.

Ah... it is compellling to write.... I can't say that I have ever halted my pen ... I just use some common sense before I hand it to anyone anymore... I waxed poetic in highschool.... and the boys began to run quickly in the opposite direction when they saw me coming with paper in hand.... I look back and laugh at it all now....

NEVER stop writing... it shouldn't be a question... for us poets, it involves our sanity.

anything that I write can and will be held against me in the poetic court of critique???

hmmmmm. . . perhaps. . . but, then again. . . perhaps truth and beauty will reign. . .

well done Sir. . . rhymically sound and flowing wonderfully. . .
