Writing

Grabbing a paper
Pickinging up a pen 
Fingers wrapped around, holding
Pen to paper
Stroking up and down
Hand gliding 
Words forming
Thoughts flowing free

I’m back with more poetry, yay! So this poem is actually based off of two prompts that I found. The first one is a how to prompt, it basically said to write a poem telling someone how to complete a mundane task that most people don’t even think about as they complete it. The second prompted me to limit myself to writing a poem with only twenty five words or less. This poem includes both of these prompts because it is 24 words long and it talks about how to write.

I struggled with the phrasing of how to explain writing. Most people would have a hard time explaining it because you learn how to write at such a young age and from there it is just muscle memory and what you have learned. You don’t normally have to put much thought or effort into the actual writing but rather what you are writing. There are so many little details when it comes to writing and I wasn’t sure how to phrase them all, so my poem is really just about the basic idea of writing, rather then how to actually write.

This poem was really relaxing to write and allowed me a break from my homework, so I hope you enjoy it. It may seem simple, but there is so much behind everyday tasks that you may not think about.

Until we meet again…
