Writing is worth it: even though the trash can is overflowing with the latest attempts to Taser my Muse into creativity.
Writing is worth it: when the Muse awakens me at all hours of the night, demanding to be put to page, I do so, willingly, so I can get some sleep.
Writing is worth it: worth every tear I have cried over words acting like spoiled children that will not stay in place where I've put them. Get back here!
Writing is worth it: even though the Judge threw the book at me, sentancing me to a lifetime of hard labor... a prisoner of the written word.
Writing is worth it: even though I am barely getting by, it's a life I wouldn't change for anything: I've had fun on this long, strange adventure.

We writers open the door to another world for our readers Karla !
A door marked summer, that takes them to the magical land of imagination and creativity !
Just be natural and spontaneous and let your pen do the talking !

Writing is worth it because it is "what we do". It is a calling, of sorts, and we have no choice but to open the door when the muse comes knocking. Great poeming, Karla.
Take care,

It make it all worth it with talent like yours Karla!
Still I think we would write no matter what, because writers have
it born within us to do so, and we are fulfilled when we do it.
I liked it before, but I REALLY love it now! :) Elements of humor, inspiration, frustration, all expressed in this dynamic little piece. BRAVA! Very well done!
