Ode To Writers

Just a tribute to you.

Caffeine riddled minds

Tingle with stimulation

Thoughts plotting their escape

Forming lines to execute their freedom


Worlds & characters spring to life

Through unimaginable imagination

We are the engineers

Constructing intrinsic works of art

Locked in literaries' glorious history


Emotions poured from a bleeding pen

Tears in ink, speak our pain

Infecting hearts & minds

With our contagious words


Inspiring youths to dream

Giving voice to the silenced souls

Tearing down walls of injustice

Setting forth truth on paper


Injecting knowledge into inquiring minds

Sharing our words through generations

Parting pieces of ourselves through verse

As our stories live on inside of them


We travel every continent

Through the eyes that take us in

And breathed out in voices

By those who speak our thoughts


So never let die, our pursuit for immortality

May our words echo loudly through time

That we may live on in eternity....

I adore poetry about poetry, and this one is special Christian, you had me at the first line, and it continued to invoke a response in my poetic heart. ;) Great read....!

Setting forth truth on paper

I love every line but those were my favorite!

[Chris Micha]

It makes me truly happy to hear such words! Thank you my dear friend! :)

[Frieda P]

The pleasure was all mine dear poet...you knocked this one out of the ballpark my friend. :)

One for writers everywhere! I really enjoyed this. I think any writer who reads this understands all too well the portion of themselves that they pour into their works to achieve that "immortality" through their readers.

[Tash Hill]

Wow, this just made me take a moment to read over it once more. It resonates so very clearly, it reminds me of all kinds and mediums of art, really. The power of the written word is one that we must all admire. Thank you for sharing - you have certainly inspired me!

[Emily]

I like the meaning! Well done.

[NoelHC]

This is very good and so readable, I am impressed.
The lines that got to me were
"Infecting hearts & minds

With our contagious words"
What a strong image that made.

Well done!

[Chris Micha]

Thank you so much Noel! :)

Hello Christian !

I'm glad I fell on this piece ! The title had me curious, hey let's see someones take on their own writer's anthem !
And you nailed it !

''We travel every continent

Through the eyes that take us in

And breathed out in voices

By those who speak our thoughts''

Favorite lines, made me travel to ireland and back. Well done !

[Chris Micha]

Hey Yann, I am honored by your words! Thank you so much :)

[Samantha ~virginpoet]

I loved this

"So never let die, our pursuit for immortality
May our words echo loudly through time
That we may live on in eternity"

I wish I had wrote this verse lol

[Chris Micha]

Awe thank you Samantha. That really means a lot!! :)

[just Penny]

You have written so very many excellent lines throughout this poem that it's hard to choose the parts I enjoyed most, but I think the stanza:

Emotions poured from a bleeding pen
Tears in ink, speak our pain
Infecting hearts & minds
With our contagious words

Really captures the hopes and aspirations of what writing is all about (for me anyway). Well done :)

[Chris Micha]

Penny, as always I am honored you have stopped by and left such amazing words. Thank you! :)
