Writers and Their Forms

I’ve heard it said that writers are emotional people
That we tend to wear our feelings throughout our words
We can paint pictures with each stroke of our pen or fingers
We can take people places they may or may not want to linger

Can you recall the first time you consciously sat down to write
What was your motivation and gave your words flight
Do you write for others or more so to cleanse your mind
Or do you find yourself writing to record something in time

Whatever brought to you to the page, are you thankful
When someone else is reading your work, are you grateful
Or are you able to write and know that you may never learn
Why it is for the written form that you have come to yearn
