Thank you shelley.
Hard to believe it has been over 7 years since I have been away from this site. I have a lot to write about, and I am curious to see how many members that I know are still here. Hope this Holiday Season is bring you happiness and joy.

Sage advice that we can all use. I like that you fit it into a poem. You convey a complete and compelling idea, even though two of the three lines are just the word, "write". Pretty darn cool.

I like this poem. I like that you bolded and exclaimed the word write at the end. As writers, it is hard to maintain the will to continue to write. This can occur for various reasons; however it must be done in order to become better.

Excellent advice in this 1-9-1 poem. It is quite a challenge to write an 11 syllable poem that makes and sense but this one surely does.

well done.
Blessings

So true of my own efforts at writing my Haiku verse. Too be honest, I think I am most inspirational when I wake up in the morning - paper and pencil then can capture my ideas.

So your last line, "write!" applies to many of us. Thanks for that encouragement.
