Writing For A Purpose

Not all poems rhyme

Though that's how they would seem

Not all poems rhyme

But they all have a meaning

Not all poems rhyme

Though they can all offer motivation

Not all poems rhyme

But we all still write them

We attain a motivation

Through experience

Education

Writing

Learning

No one said it was easy

No one said it was hard

But when writing, we learn

We can make up our own worlds

We can insert our own problems

And find our own solutions

We try new things

And without leaving the safety of our computer screens

Typing and printing

Printing and typing

Hours spent each day

The life of a writer is tedious to others

To us, it is never dull

One day we may chase dragons

In the hills of Ireland

The next we may chase love

Our hearts in someone else's hand

Another day may come

Where we choose to write a fight

Between pirates and mermaids

Such nonsense and whatnot!

It's all okay,

Though none may admit it

We are writers

Therefore, we do it!

Whether near or far,

Here or there

Writers write to share

I know I enjoy

The looks on faces as I watch them read

They become absorbed by my words

Entranced by my characters

Readers want to know what happens next.

"I must know"

They cry.

"You must tell me"

They shriek.

But the only way they'll ever know

Is to read on.

I write for pleasure

For fun.

I write to relieve stress

To solve a problem.

Others don't realize

But writing is a gift.

A gift that not everyone has

But those who do

Can rule over the world

Just with the stroke of their hand.

So, while not all poems rhyme,

(This one fits that bill)

All poems have a meaning,

A sentiment, if you will

This one tells a story

One of a girl

Who writes to solve the mystery

Of why she writes at all.
