Why Do You Write?
As a writer who understands the multitude of reasons why people have started to become writers I really want to know what makes you want to write. Consider this a way for me to get to know more about you as a writer!
Wings of Words
When I
Was five
I looked up
At the birds.
They swooped
Above the street
As I scribbled
In chalk.
When I
Was seven
I dreamed
Of starry skies.
I draped scarves
On my arms
Like wings
Of satin.
When I
Was nine
I climbed
The tall oak.
I pretended
To soar
With the breeze
In my hair.
When I
Was eleven
I felt alone
And trapped.
I wished
So hard
To fly away
And be free.
When I
Was thirteen
I began
To write.
I discovered
That I could fly.
Fly on my wings
Of words.
