My Attempt at Poetry...Hey, I made this up!
Poems w/o Titles
or stand in my way,
for when inspiration visit me
and comes in to play
my thoughts get to flickering
and it becomes a writing day.

As strange as it may sound, especially if you walk in my shoes, writing is a possession that sticks to me like glue.
Once I get started, it's very hard to stop
that's why I dwell on short stories,
because it doesn't take long to invent an eye catching plot.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Characters are the reason
behind why I write and play........with words.
They enter my head, frolicking around in my mind,
waiting for me to bring them to life....
in a perfect place and at the right time.
You can't hurry the building of personalities,
or the structure of a theme, not to mention
the whys, whens and hows of a plot
that is yet to be seen......by the writer.
On the edge of your seat you sit
as you work the wrinkles out,
a notepad full of edits, marks that look like chicken scratch,
But, you workout all the goobly-goos,
because that's what writer's do
When they work on manuscripts,
making them ideal for use.....as in preparation for submission.
My suggestion
Put your best foot forward
in making a favorable impression;
after all, you're presenting your craft, yourself and your manuscript, which to me is the
hardest part of being successful as a writer.......Impressing the Publisher.
