Poem Artwork

I started to write because I couldn't
--- there were no words before.     It
was too awful, what was unfolding
on the t.v. screen. How could I not?

And then I wrote because I could:
--- words became my shelter from
the storms of life, a place of refuge.
They saved me.   How could I not?

And now I write because I love to,
because I can, not because I have
to.  Even though words sometimes
don't love me back, how could I not?

(c) 2009, Karla Dorman (12/29)
