Poetry: Why I write

by ElliotPhaber

Created on: April 03, 2010   Last Updated: April 12, 2010

I write to create the entities that nobody else can

Because only a poet can twist words into livelihood

With nothing more than a pen and my own mind

And I seek nothing less than perfection when I work.


I write to express what cannot be put into speech,

But words work perfectly in the art of expression.

I cannot forsake the pen that allows me to give

And receive the greatest beauties of our language.


And I write to delve into worlds that are not my own

Because I can be a sorcerer or a scene with ease

With nothing more than a pen and my own mind

And I love to see the world through the eyes of others.
