Hello Susan,
I so appreciate your metaphorical free verse, "Defining Writers." Your comparisons are rich in both visual and emotive imagery. I agree with all of your comparisons and they resonate deeply with me. I love the idea of being both a storyteller and a warrior. Very well-crafted!
Thank you for sharing!

Us writers are pretty cool. I saw a shirt that said something to the affect of don't piss me off because I might kill you off in my next book. It made me laugh. I love how we can write one book but so many can relate to it or we can just bring people together for like book clubs and stuff. It's just cool

There's much to like in this one. "Creative pausers" is a brilliant coinage! You have used the metaphors of spinning and weaving to good effect and have many very satisfying lines. I particularly liked:
"where words kneel to human emotions
then, subdue them on paper"
but would perhaps have placed the comma after 'emotions' rather than after 'then'.

I like to checkout the writing of those who critique my stuff.
I enjoyed this. This has a momentum--gaining strength as it progresses.
There's truth in that.
Thanks for sharing.

You captured the essence with excellent words and precision, dear God's noble warrior, and indeed watched where words stand guard on duty, especially in the two below which are my favourites:

writers are expert lens framers
where words take a snapshot
to capture the human spirit.

writers are poets and story tellers
outsiders looking in with an alien tongue
tasked to interpret you and me.

A reflective work defining the undefinable...we are all of these things and none of them. Recorders of history, predictors of future, victims of the present.

Beautiful presentation. The picture selection really complimented the poem. The poem is exceptionally well written with lots and lots of imagery and emotions. I really enjoyed the read.

Yes we writers are, fixer-uppers, artists who paint pictures, create actions and we are funny, sad, or full satire. The words come to us and we capture them. Very true picture of writers, you paint. Sherman541
