The curse of the writer

Woe to the curse of the writer

Whose speech is tattered and torn

Make way for the socially repugnant

The melancholy and forlorn

What wretch have they cast upon us

A mute with a wicked fast pen

Speak not a word vile creature

Yet, write one million and ten

Woe to the curse of the writer

Who cannot say a word

Her stupidity doth proceed her

As no intelligence have we heard

Reviews

[emmajoy]

Great meter here, a real poet in every way. Here you express thoughts and feelings so many would be writers think/feel .. we try, we succeed somehow; we try another time to emulate the greats and in our own minds - we fail hopelessly.

Writing can be heaven or hell and just occasionally we stand with a foot in both places.

[Mauricio Montoya]

Excellent write!

[KAREN]

i can relate to this poem! I try to put words on paper and comes out blank!

[KATHY SUE SILLS]

GREAT POEM!

[Art]

nice work...

those cursed writers are turning in their graves...

[Poetic Beauty]

I like this. Our muses sometimes inspire us some much all we want to do is write and then at other times the words within our minds are silent and it drives us crazy. The curse of a writer is a great line.

sharpening your sword, i see

[Jibey]

Neat, clever piece of writing - yes, heaven preserve us from the well meaning gushers

[Norma M Sutton]

I like this. It does seem that many writers are more comfortable with pen and keyboard then with speech.
