Addict Of Words

I really like this poem as I feel it has depth and texture. I know the feeling of being caught up in all the paper, ink, edits and final drafts. Tangled in the computer keys... Cat

That is a nice piece of writing right there now.... Has my vote....

Ancientone's poem 'Poet'? There are some similar thoughts expressed there. This is very well written, the flow is spot on and I enjoyed the metaphors. 'A jewel in the rough' is a great expression. Kaz It's impossible to smile on the outside without feeling better on the inside.

I like this and how you describe what writing is like for you.

Janice Pearce, I was initially drawn in by your title selection for this amazing piece. I was not disappointed by any means as I began to read and became drawn into you as the author. I felt the emotions radiating from you as the creator of your words of choice for your reading audience. I too have a couple of poems from a writers point of view and at some point will get around to posting them here for all to read and understand the passion a writer has within. Thank You for sharing a little of yourself and especially your gift of writing with all of us. Mickey Pig Knuckles

is again present in this well narrated poem. In ink, dabbler

You've really captured a great theme here, Janice. So many of us are "diamonds in the rough." We're all just trying to shine. I enjoyed this and the form in which it was written. Towards the end I had a problem following the flow. It doesn't seem like your conclusion is as strong as the rest of the piece. (just a little typo there, "frree") Very nice, I'd like to see some work on that ending to give it the power it deserves! ~ Ronda

What a great write you describe how writing is for you,I am amidst skies of ink seas of paper computer keys late night final drafts I Love this part especially so reminds me sometimes when I get writers block.Another great poem Janice,Stay lucky-Paul

Did you change it again? See, it's like a drug ... once you start editing sometimes you can't stop! ;) ~ Ronda I like this version!

I found this a fantastic poem!
