Writers are like fire
March 9, 2014
Writers are like Fire
Writers are like fire,
Burning with a passionate flame
They weave.
Writers are wizards,
But our wands are ink and lead.
Writers are like slaves,
Bound in printed chains.
Writers are like drunkards,
Addicted to the pen and the page.
Bound in leather and numbered,
We make those masterpieces.
As a painter paints,
Somewhere a writer writes.
Writers are like tigers,
Ready to pounce on a stray idea,
Writers are like swans,
Majestic,
We twist and turn,
We captivate people.
We Write.
