A Writers Life

A WRITERS LIFE

By The Urban Poet

A writers life, a writers mind

Thoughts bombarding, counting time

You ache to write down what you see

The things you hear, the trapped, the free

 

Views and opinions, feelings strong

A writer knows not right or wrong

Just wants to capture colour and shade

Like military regalia on parade

 

To lure, to reel the reader in

To enter the writers mind within

A banner of truth, a flag unfurled

Making a statement, changing the world 

 

The writer accelerates, theyre in full flow

The reader gets the plot,

structure and meaning

If there’s not one there, he’ll just believe in

the words and phrases he’s taken in

Ones own interpretation is no sin

Turmoil, angst, mind block and strife

It’s all revealed in a writers life

From ‘Rhymes and Reasons’

By ‘Rick Varden
