Why Do We Write?

WHY DO WE WRITE?

WHY DO WE WRITE?

Our minds want more.
We need to explore the world.
To explore the unknown. 

If we can’t fulfill our dreams in our daily lives,
Then we can fulfill them in our writing.
Stories about love, evil creatures, and deadly games.

I’ve always wanted to live in a small town.
So I created a small town in my book
And called it, Oasis.

I love to read books.
The main character moves to Oasis
And opens a bookstore.

You get the idea.
The main character, Linda,
Is living my dream life.

My mind takes a dark turn.
Life is too good and care-free.
Oasis needs a darker side.

The original residents live in a forest
And only come out at night.
This is when the fun and games begin. 

Do you see where this is going?
If not, you can always read my book.
I finally got my small town,
Where fantasies come true ,
And some just don’t.

Hi Susanne
You sound like a creative writer. If you know of some one, That
would do a story on me or a movie. I can not do it myself, because I call it vain, But I have many notes of 79 years ,That is a rasscal
farmer,many fasists of life. Darryl

It's interesting how this poem turned into a pitch for your book. And yes, through writing we can create almost any kind of life. But, I doubt if we can live it the way we imagine it.

good inspiration in this piece, Susanne,
just to flow with your dreams and fantasies
and see where they take you.

Very thought provoking and motivating poetry! I write to express my feelings and purge the heart. Then other times I write to entertain. My expressive poetry is usually better.
