I am a Writer

Words are Powerful as are the Wordsmiths

I am a Writer

 

 

I am a Writer

 

The creator of men

The destroyer of worlds

I can shackle the strong

I can liberate the weak

 

I am a Writer

 

With my thoughts I mold planets

With my words I wield power

With my pen I shape lives

 

I am a Writer

 

I am an immortal

With my words come permanence

My body may rot

But my spirt lives in

 

I am a Writer

 

Maya Angelou said words are things

And my words are things

The stuff of life

The primordial ooze from which all things originate

 

I am a Writer

 

The pen is mightier than the sword, at least mine is

Because my pen can become a sword

“this guy stabbed that guy with a sword”

See, I told you

 

I am a Writer

 

Do not doubt my power

I can create a beautiful world

“A vast expanse of green covering the rolling, hilly plains. Unkept grass swaying gently in the steady, summer breeze; waving and rippling like the waters of a massive but gentle lake under warm zephyrs”

And then I can burn it

“and it burned”

 

I am a Writer

 

I can give you a perfect life

“he had a great job, gorgeous mansion, beautiful wife, and three wonderful sons”

Just to take it away

“but the tornado destroyed his house, killed his family, and he fell into depression”

 

I am a Writer

 

I can kill you all

“Everyone logged onto WritersCafe died”

And resurrect you

“then they all came back”

Without you even knowing

“and they never knew”

 

I am a Writer

 

And when I leave you on that cliffhanger

Literally, a cliffhanger

“His legs dangled over the seemingly bottomless pit beneath him. The jagged rocks of the Cliffside tore at the skin on his chest and stomach. The agony was almost too much to bear. The pain in his fingers was unimaginable; a deep, fiery burn, begging him to relieve them of their duties. They could not be relieved, though, because their relief meant his death”

I could save you

“Then, in a sudden burst of strength and adrenaline, so strong it seemed like divine intervention, he found the strength to pull himself up.”

 

But I’m not that kind of Writer

 

Embrace your power

Reviews

[Kevin Horsley]

I am a writer because it allows me the freedom to express
I am a writer and I do it to impress
I am a writer because it relieves my stress
I find when I'm writing I'm at my best

I create characters in a situation
Which requires a little contemplation
Will they eat or suffer starvation
Some may die or achieve salvation

Writing was the only tool
That helped me to survive my school
The bullies in my world were fools
And I made sure I broke all the rules

I enjoyed your piece and have added to it - it is unrefined and a quick write but in there is a little of who I am and why. The whole story is much larger than the sum of its parts though.

A poet is someone who expresses and you have done so, it may not fit into a category but so what - who wants to be pigeon holed.

Keep up the good writes.

I am a writer because I create feelings
and express them through simple writing,
and give my characters good or evil.
I am a writer because I can write about reality,
but then converge it with fantasy,
and make it into a crazy fairytale.
I am a writer because I enjoy the simple things in life,
and with this, I'll express my feelings in any form I'd like.
Without someone to judge, but the world to read.

An amazing job on this! I truly and absolutely love the way you asked everyone to add to it. And I really enjoyed reading the poem itself. I had a sense of importance creep through me when I read this, and the quite simplicity of it and descriptions of words amazed me. A well written and expressed poem. We all are writers and we express ourselves in millions of different ways. For lack of better words to describe how awesome this poem is, I loved it! :)

The power of words, unleashed and under the control of the writer examined here.

[nothingnothingforgetfor..]

All so true said, all so majestic and empowering. Fantastic piece, and it seems to me you can be a poet as well as anything!

Cheers!

Wow, you never fail to impress me, really. I loved this one a lot. I smiled the whole time reading it. I'm sad that this will be your last poem for a while, i love logging on and seeing you have written a new poem and such.. well anyways, one criticism, there was a part where you said " stuff" and that kind of blew me off since you were using such big words and then... stuff. LOOL. That's it. it was great, though/

[Silent Knight]

Wonderful poem. Very inspirational and very well written.
