Why Am I Calling It "My Writing Crap"?: A Humorous Poem
Be courageous and try to write in a way that scares you a little.
-- Holley Gerth
Out of sheer endearment I call it "my literary crap"
and many, while reading were so willing to agree
but they were just falling in this vocabulary trap
because my writing presents something to me.
The great fun is always in structuring the post
as I am using available tools, to give it its form
while my message, of course, I enjoy the most
oftentimes a result of an out-of-box brainstorm.
Writing reminds me of those oil painting days
when on a blank canvas a scene came alive
a final product I could do in so many ways
squeezed out of soul by a creative drive.
Writing also reminds me of all my free choices
from moment to moment to give reality a shape
creating my experiencing, ignoring outside voices
giving all rainbow spectrum to my inner landscape.
So I call it my "writing crap" to test the reader's mind
'cause if they really fall for it, they don't matter much
while here and there, I could sense some other kind
the ones with whom my writing will remain in a touch.
