Sharing Words

by Glenda A Bixler — Read all 13 poems by Glenda A Bixler

Do you write for yourself or others?

Sunday, September 7, 2008

Perhaps my words were meant

only and just for you...

For if someone else read them

No matter, just a few words...

 

Forgotten after just one read

Perhaps a bit of erotica to savor

How and when do words creep in

And make a poem, a letter?

 

Do we have someone in mind?

Or do we write to please

Anyone or everyone who passes by

To take the poem or leave...

 

For I find I respond to you

Your words speak so sincere

I see someone who opens up

And speaks of what has come

 

Isn't that such a compliment?

To touch someone so deep

I'm glad if no one else did come

It formed a bond, you see.

 

And now we read each other

We enjoy a melding mind

Others may read our words, true

Some one else may also find

 

When two can think and act together

'Tisn't such a crime

For words make life a lovely place

To share with thee...or others...

Glenda, Words do possess the power to hurt or to heal. I enjoyed your view of the importance of words and how words add to our lives at different intervals along the way. Blessings...Frances

A thought provoking question for writers of all kinds. I write because I can't imagine not writing. Hugs to you:)

You present this so well that it makes me believe that I'm doing something right. I know the feeling from a lifetime of sharing thughts and writing, and I agree with every line. Will be looking at other offerings of yours. - Bill

I write to communicate with others; so that they can get to know me. I also often find the expression very therapeutic. Thank you, Glenda. Love and best wishes to you,

Regis

The relationship between a reader and a writer is perhaps the most intimate there is-- they share things--have a mind connection that many a lover never do. --Charlie

What I write is seen by thee
Arranged the way I it aught to be
To tell a tale or present some facts
The words are guided by my acts

To share a time of days gone by
We feel that age and maybe cry
Unable to return and change things then
Accepting all that has been

The past can make our hearts react
But all words written should be exact
To please myself is what I do
Wishing it is the same for you

To reveal the past is inspiring
Where I do my reveling
I share with all my heartfelt words
So those gone by can still be heard

I often write for myself, but I also find sometimes that I "need"
to have one particular reader in mind when I write. Either way I
have to satisfy me first, which is true of course for any writer.
Thanks, Glenda, for getting me to think about this. -gene.
