Word
Whether poetry or stories
words are such a treasure
vintage, slang, or common use
they give me so much pleasure.
When I feel the urge to purge
the words become my voice
they come pouring out of me
sometimes I have no choice.
But I’m pleased that I’m a writer
I enjoy the undertaking
cause every writer knows
it’s not for the moneymaking.

Yes, words themselves, and the ability to work/play with them are real treasures.

There is a satisfaction in writing that comes from pleasing others stemming back to the time when storytellers were the entertainment hub of the tribe! Love the poem Bekkie.

So true, if it was for money, no one would write, LOL. No money in it, as a general rule. But great satisfaction!

Sadly, what writers treasure (words, of course!) often brings no financial reward. But we persist, because we must!
