Good question <br /> <br />When I put my pen to paper <br />My objective is to replicate <br />The ambiance of the surreal <br />And unveil its rare beauty <br />To those willing to listen <br /> <br />With each heightened verse <br />I introduce a new discovery <br />From the depths of my world <br />And outline my visions <br />My revisions <br />My desires <br />And my passions <br /> <br />(But on some days <br />I find myself at a junction) <br /> <br />Am I exploiting a supernal secret? <br />Describing the indescribable? <br />Doing it an injustice? <br />Or am I just procrastinating? <br /> <br />As I run down perfection <br />At the end of the tunnel <br />I realize why many of us write poetry <br /> <br />To add depth to our hollow souls <br />And to fill a connatural void!<br /><br />Michael Fischer<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/why-i-write-poetry-4/
