[hometext] => Yeah, I don't get it myself (now there's a topic right there. Hmmm?) Why DO we right this stuff? For me, it's some crazy driven need, for others??
[bodytext] => What makes me write What makes me want to share my sight What in the hell puts me out there It sometimes seems so unfair What makes these wheels turn What gives me writer’s burn An itching to get every word right Is it a talent unrelenting Or just a blight Or maybe it’s a curse A doom I’ll have live with For all my life Why do I verse All that I observe Can’t I just go on normally through life But Oh you haven’t heard These incredible words That describe they way I see things in this light Yes it’s a curse But one that gets me by And I hope sometimes My writing will fly It’s a plague on me I just can’t kill It’s a crazy addiction That constantly swells It’s like a nail in my tire An inborn dreaded desire Because it lays bare The emotions that I tell And people get to know me Way too well Well, I don’t know why I do it I’m just constantly drawn to it I can’t even take a walk And not see life that talks And that life just inspires me And makes me write poetry Even if it’s lame it means something to me Or something that’s untamed And labels me insane As usual with all creativity And scars me my whole life ‘Cause no one seems to understand me So if this is a curse I suppose it could be worse So I guess I’ll carry on And let it be And continue to write Whatever strikes me [comments] => 5 [counter] => 303 [topic] => 76 [informant] => twbanter [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => obsession )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
