Someone wrote a poem recently that took me back as to why I started to write a lot of peotry some years ago. I had burned myself out working non-stop for years and poetry became a way to clear out the clinkers from my boiler. This is personal, a lot of things I write are pleasure at the world and having some ability to write. Dave When the stress clears Your eyes are keen They were so keen before They intimate to you Your a game from well before They think you are so old But the people want you there They think they are so good Why are their grins so bare You type an old poem The readers know the words They know the meaning You've exhausted as they heard So why do you write it Well it's still within my soul But they dont want to read it I cant help it It keeps me whole I'd like to say I'm sorry To those who've heard before But the music keeps on playing The same very old score I should end the poem here Leave a word to end But the light of life keeps tickling Something around the bend So I will keep on typing And fighting all I know And when they finally Say goodbye to me I know which way I'll go |

Hi Dave Thanks for sharing this piece with us. I guess we all begin writing for different reasons and I believe writing is a very personal thing that comes from our innermost being. I feel so much more complete in my life since my writing began and I hope it is a good release for you. Take care.......Sue I am in motion |

writing is for everyone and as the blacksmith with every skill is required to shoe anything before him without pain so the write smiths try to shoe the world with words but you cant feed the world with words nor can you stop a Dictator feeding the world with deaths and money for his friends words have been taken by politicans and people for their own limited objectives where they dont care who suffers I am not some bleeding heart, but I care and I also say I put everything I had financially at risk for a debt I needed morally repay even though I dont even now think I should, but in those days your word mattered, now your ass is all that matters.
