Is writing an obsession for you? Do you feel you need to write in order to find some sort of fulfillment? If you have answered 'yes' to either or both of the above questions, then you are indeed a writer.
With Pen In Hand
The need to write or'whelms me,
To share my thoughts with those who choose
To read my words astounds me.For I am no philosopher,
I'm not a man of wisdom,
I'm just a man who loves to write,
And share with you my vision.
A vision of a better world,
Where wars at last will cease,
A world where we can be ourselves,
Where we can live in peace.
Yet words alone won't be enough,
But they can be a start,
To let us know what life can be,
If we will do our part.
So I'll keep writing, pen in hand,
To share with those who heed,
And hope they find a little truth,
In everything they read.

Sometimes wisdom, allbeit the personal kind, takes many forms. Often those, who say they are not wise, truly are. I enjoy your poetry, I have had it inspire mine (see "The Station").Thanks.Kind regards,Kian.Thanks for your comments, Kian, and I hope you keep reading.
You nailed it David! Scribbled ideas on anything paper and the computer with a little file entitled "fragments" soon to become "poeces" Hardly ever have writer's block. Glad of it! MarijoThanks for reading and commenting, Marijo.Unfortunately I have a bad case of Writer's Block. I haven't written a poem for a few weeks now and it is driving me mad. It's a horrible feeling, just wanting to write, but nothing is coming. I hope this ends soon.Well, I don't think I have ever experienced that for long - if not a poem then an article or devotional comes to me.... do have a poem idea that I haven't gotten very far with - about Worship Warriors - tying the current worship team in with the warriors at Jericho - SO much of the battle is done through worship.... need to focus on that one soon and maybe share some YWAM stories of how we on the drama team fell flat those times we went out without the worship team to battle before the drama.
