How This Was Written

Poetry on the writing life right here!

How This Was Written

On fire, on fresh bottled water to be drunk

To satiate the yearning, urge and love of learning.

Certain tasks to be applied with effort and care,

Professionalism and concern, carefully, methodically

With style and flair.

Certain books to be written

Word by word,

Thought by thought

Image by image with joy and hope,

Planning and dreaming

Seeking truth and imagination, on

While experiencing desire of pretty pictures

Desire of beauty

Blest to be expressive and to create happiness

Of the written words and ideas on the pages of my notebooks

that happen to be right here.
