The inner joy a writer feels at seeing their work in print.


Poem Artwork

One morning it is alright

something feels quite new

like a switch has been thrown

you cannot put your finger on it

you just know.

Know it is all different

like the pieces fit

as the Sun peeks through the clouds

you smile at it's gesture

it's soothing hand

you know this is it.

All that you have done

almost all of your life

you have worked so hard

for what some mutter

'Oh you write?'

Now it is that morning

the jigsaw diadems all fit

you are not as you were

trapped in yesterday

your work is in print.

No longer divided

by shall I shall I not

suddenly all things are united

you had not lost the plot.

The joy of the "jigsaw diadems" that all fit! The joy and the rarity!

It certainly is great when we see our writing in print. It's even better when readers tell you that they like what they read in print. And even better still when you receive an award for what you've written.

For me the joy of just writing is what makes it worthwhile. If I receive credit or readership, it's all the more rewarding.

I think you've got it.
By George you've got it.
I said that you could do it and you did it.
I'm pretty sure of that.

Yes indeed, John, I'll never forget how I felt when I held my first book in my hands.
