Why I Write

Folder: 
On Poetry

I’ve always been more intrigued

With the written word

For I am able to formulate sentences

With more eloquence

When I’m accompanied by a pen and paper.



My words stumble out when said aloud,

Strung together with

No semblance of articulation.



I like to think I’ve mastered

The extended metaphor,

But the truth is,

It commands me.

For without it,

I cannot say anything of substance.
