The only way I can explain the ability to define words...
"And turn them into Human Emotions is that it is a gift to the few and the worthy.
To write from the Mind is a gift...
To write from the Mind with emotion and Heart is a gift and a blessing...
But, to write with the Mind, the Heart, and the Soul...
"Is a Gift and a blessing given to the very, very, few.
This was well written with great theme and imagery.
It flowed well and read well with no grammar issues as well.
Adjective Content was aligned well with Objective Content and Descriptive Measures aligned perfectly.
Thanks for this and have a blessed day.

Well structured free verse! I like how each verse starts with "writers are..." and each verse stands alone as a poem giving us a profound and succint definition of writing.

My favorite ones were:
writers are God's noble warriors
where words stand guard on duty
between right and wrong.

writers are but humans too
where words kneel to emotions,
then subdue them on paper.

writers are poets and storytellers
outsiders looking in of alien tongue
tasked to interpret you and me.

HELLO NASSUS 1957: I agree with you here. YES. Writers are all of what you've said they are; and sooooo much more. How much more? Well, I've imagined that we can begin by rightly adding you and me to your list. (smile) From our experts, right on, "UP," to our rookies; we writers are all one big bag of cookies. For every woman, Man, girl, and boy. We have neat treats for everybody to enjoy. Write on my fellow writer. Let us keep giving our readers what they want. Encore. rhonnie69.

Really good writers are all that, and bad writers are defined by how far they stray from those ideals. Looks like an excellent free verse definition of the good writer.

I enjoyed your poem very much and I think you done a very good job of defining a writer. I never thought of them in this way but I think you are right on. Good word flow make it easy to read.

And I take pride in being part of the species you so magically praise.
Many aspects of brilliance and diversity within the makeup of the writer. If I a able to live up to half, I am contented.
Nicely done.
My best wishes
RG

Very well said. Writers and poets are so many things. We are so many thought on paper. Sometimes it is hard to not think about writing something. Great piece. I wish you much luck.
