lifethrupoems

Sit at the typewriter, computer, or paper and pen

Start writing, putting forth emotions from the heart

Or lay down the details of your adventure, comedy, or novel

As you type something strange will happen

While the words swirl onto the crisp white page

A gossamer weaves the words together

The words grow a little bigger, and bigger, till they are the size of lilac petals

They leap off the page, as soft as feathers, wrap themselves around you

They carry you far above the highest star, deeper than the deepest abyss

They whisk you to the land of stories, where stories are born

This is where every single one of my poems has taken me

This is where I am telling, not asking, you to go

Simply start with a single word
