Writing, it's just something I do, <br />I sit and write, I lay and write. <br />Cheery. Gloomy. Hopefully inspired. <br /> <br />Face set; frown deepens, <br />Pen scribbles/ Fingers race, <br />Abuse the keyboard - 'Lets! ' <br />Poems done. <br /> <br />Put it out there <br />Read the comments. <br />Absorb the rating; <br />Ego swells <br />Possibly deflates? <br /> <br />All this, its fine. <br />Disapproval from strangers- <br />'Pff! ' I brush it off, <br />What do they know? <br /> <br />Yet offering yourself to those you've met <br />Requires something significantly more. <br />So here are my thoughts <br />I’m sharing with you <br />Ponder <br />Analyse <br />And if you will... criticise. <br /> <br />2 November 2007 14: 43<br /><br />Lily Espinosa<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/spilt-all-over-the-page/
