Expressing Myself

by PoeticDomo

You ask why I write

I ask why don't you?

Poetry is my thoughts

Poetry is my feelings

My inner self

Expressed so vividly

Through every stroke

Upon each and every sheet

Why do I write?

Multiple reasonings:

An outlet from reality

A get-away from the world;

Gives a voice to my mind

Loud and clear

Ripples through my soul

You ask why do I write

I answer...

It's what makes me ME

<p>I think that would be intresting. Play around with describing the poetic world that your writing takes you to when your there. Get descriptive. What do you see? What do you feel? What's that voice in your head like? What makes that world so vivid? You have the bones of something killer here. Play with it and keep writing!</p>
