Using your favorite author quote, write a poem about what it's like to be a writer
“You must stay drunk on writing so reality cannot destroy you.” ― Ray Bradbury
When I write
My words feel stone cold
And lack true emotion.
How do the words spill so easily?
Of situations, I had never so much as brushed
Yet I cannot bring myself to write
Of anything but the things I write.
Please forgive me for my insolence
And brash actions
For continuing to write
About things
That I know I should not
But the words just won't stop
Flowing from my head to my fingertips.
But if I don’t stop
I fear
That the things I write would
Come true in my life
And rule all I have known.
