Write out Loud

 

I sit in my corner and write by day or night

poetry and prose for people who are out of sight

For three years I have happily written

to eventually have become well and truly smitten

 

I write to receive the comments of others

many of whom have become sisters and brothers

Some live many leagues beyond the seas

but it is almost as if I can hear them sneeze

 

I have new found friends who abound

on this globe all the year round

Write out Loud is a beacon of talent

and for me it is the work of no relent

 

Each and every day I log on to Write out Loud

to read the work of my favourite crowd

I comment on their work and they on mine

as I enjoy my morning pot of tea and rhyme

 

Some have become kindred spirits 

with whom we exchange comments with no limits

With others some differences of opinion do occur

but always these occasions are really quite rare

 

I cherish my friends on this web site

who may remain permanently out of sight

How wonderful it would be for us all to meet

and the great distances between us to cheat

 

My gratitude goes out to you all

because together we each enthral

Let us draw more into this creative fold

and in our writing be forever bold

 

Poetry is the heart and mind made manifest

literary merit at its very best

We need to endeavour to learn from each other

and in so doing remain students together
