What Can a Writer Do?

What Can a Writer Do?

A Poem by Victoria Scott
"

Sometimes I feel prejudiced against cause I can't do a lot of things, but as a writer I have found out that I can, just in a little different way.

"

I have never carved a statue with a face so intricate it’s real

I have never held a brush that led my fingers to paint what I feel


I have never danced a dance where I haven’t done anything but fall

I have never designed designs that made any sense at all.


I have never cooked a feast that made my momma proud

I have never been in love or to any man been vowed.


I have never been athelical or could even say the word

I have never been hilarious, or hyperly absurd.


Now it may seem to you, that I can’t do a thing

And might be justified, in asking me anything


In fact, I can do all of the above if I could be so vain

Just not in the way you think, no not in the way ordained.


Actually I’m a writer; I can do all things with my mind and will

And when I dance with pen on paper, my feet are never still.

It's sad how a person's worth is often determined by the greatness of their achievements. This, to a writer, I think, is particularily discouraging, since it is our very thoughts that need approval. Ideally it would be enough just to think and exist.
This is precious.

Yeah .. this stuff's very powerful to think... I enjoyed as well as smiled at your those last lines. What the cool lines you directly wrote from the heart .. Keep on.

This is such a smart way to describe expression. A writer can really do anything they want. Many people don't understand that, and you just opened my eyes to how much we can all really do.

Love cynics like Kaine, funny. Well written, did not see any grammatical errors. I also dance when I write.

I really enjoyed this. I love how you express how almost every writer feels, just brilliant. And I apologize if my crappy review doesn't do this poem justice, I just felt I had to say Something. :P

I loved this. This is great :) When you use your imagination/mind (like writers do), you can do, be and achieve anything!

The biggest gift we have is to be able to share our thoughts and emotions through the power of word. This was very easy to read and flowed beautifully :)
