Are there any writers out there? (song, words, quote, stories)

[Angel Bear]

Everyone is so cool...So many different types of writing and forms of writing! You inspire me

Now, back to work

[Twinkle Toes]

Yeah, I'm somewhat a writer. I write briefs. Does that count???

This sounds like a good story. If you believe in it, keep at it. Disipline yourself to write 15 minutes every day. Pretty soon you'll have it done. As someone once said: How do you eat an eleplant? Well, one bite at a time.

I write poetry. I am not published but here's an example.


Willow In The Wind

Too many miles and too many tears
Too many hurts and too many fears
Just too tired from too much trying
Body drained from too much crying

She lacks the strength to carry on
Hopes and dreams have up and gone
And slowly bowing under pressure
Like a willow in the wind

She’s wondering why she even tries
When no one is listening when she cries
She’s only dealing with the aftermath
Of this solitary, windy and lonely path

She walks beneath a gray and broken sky
And tries to reason and understand why
She feels so cold and slowly battered
Like a willow in the wind

Only wishing that she could learn to fly
Feeling warmth of compassion passing by
Have just one reason for her heart to sing
A long ago forgotten and hopeful ring

Feel the warmth of a truly loving hand
Wanted and needed by a gentle man
To lift her up and hold her high
Like a willow in the wind

Doesn’t seem to her too much to ask
This small and meaningful loving task
Just to appreciate how much she gives
Any man’s heart in which she lives

He comes to her in the dark one night
Her heart grows wings and takes flight
Swaying so softly in a gentle breeze
Like a willow in the wind

Thank you Tek_Freek. I appreciate your praise

To be honest not much poetry gets my attention. Yours does. Most poetry is superficial. I thinks yours is heartfelt from experience.

High praise indeed. Yes, most all my writings come from my life experiences or those of people I know. Thanks again Tek_Freek

I have often been told I should write a book and I might do just that, more for my own therapy then in the hopes of selling it...

I have to wait for a couple to die first though...

[Angel Bear]

IMHO writing from the heart is the best
