Why I Write

by Chancycat

I'm not a poet

I'm not great at rhyme

But when I long to express

I'll write anytime

When inspiration hits

I'll pull up word

Let my imagination fly

Soar like a bird

Ideas come and go

Migrating south

Coming back north

To flow from my mouth

Fly from my fingers

Onto a note

Sometimes a keyboard

In order to emote

Sometimes ideas stream

Sometimes they stop

Writers block sucks

<p>It was good and I understood you're ending but it could of gone further something to pull me in more and I know it's your opinion but in my book everyone is a poet. Maybe something like "they call it writers block" to kind of sort of rhyme with stop or stream? I know poems don't need to have rhyme but idk you seem to have somewhat of a pattern.  Sometimes I blame it on writers block? Just trying to help. It was an exceptional poem until the last phrase in my opinion but I do get it and it works. Don't change it! Just giving an opinion of what I would of done. </p>
