am i a writer
thoughts stay coiled in my mind
waiting to be read
📝
am i a writer
procrastination stalls me
choose not to be fed
📝
am i a writer
if i blame writer's block for
inconsistency
📝
am i a writer
creativity comes in
waves, rain down on me
📝
am i a writer
rather write it than say it
words, never have few
📝
am i a writer
let poetry be your voice
don’t let fear starve you
📝
am i a writer
if no one fancies my work
they pick it apart
📝
am i a writer
it’s my form of therapy
it’s my soul, my art
📝
am i a writer
or just a person who writes
what a nuanced view
📝
am i a writer
rhyming ten tercets in or
maybe it’s haiku?
