Wow. I have a hard time just "center aligning"----
Advanced a editor must like you!
Very clever presentation with a theme most of us know all to well!
My kingdom for the perfect phrase!
(smile)
The moment I look back in my portfolio I begin to question every rhyme or comma...
It's a writer's curse!
(And blessing!)

I good exhortation to writers to "pen a keeper, then rejoice!" It's always a great theme to write about writing to writers. I like the progression of taking up the pen and writing in your staircase stanzas. Best wishes in the contest!

Excellent job Jim and a perfect entry for this type of poem. I like the repetitive use of the -ink ending and think it gives a lilt and point of interest. I wish you good luck in the contest.

well done poem about writing and how you like to write first using pen and ink then later revise it on a computer, myself I like writing on the screen as I can't read my own writing!!!!

Jake, I surely understand this.I must admit hardly anyone but me can read my left-handed tilting lines.

I rejoined FS in November, so I did not read the original.
The rewrite is well presented, though I can honestly say I don't understand it. That's on me.
Best of luck in the contest.

Comment from Gypsy Blue Rose
Excellent poem for the - No Rules Poetry Contest.
It's very spiritual and heartfelt.
The rhymes and meter are not forced and they flow well.
the structure makes sense, it draws on emotions and it presents strong images.

Not having seen this in its original version, I can only say this is a great rewrite. It's fun, it flows, and is a good entry for the no rules poetry contest. Good luck.

Your contest entry read well, JLR. Its message was
strong. I liked the way you formatted the lines. The
rhyme scheme was interesting and worked very well.
I don't believe you need a comma after the word Fear.
Thanks for sharing and best wishes in the contest, Jan

I am said Sam and ate his green ham and eggs, I think before draughting a beer and passing out. I like this even if I barely understand - no - not ever barely but you had fun writing it I bet.
