writer,
Like this poem, and the form seems cool, too!
~Davidf

I like this one Writer.  It does flow well and expresses well the different reasons people write.

Playing with a new form...always lots of fun.

WHY WRITE?  

Some write and say it’s to fulfill 
a fire within that drives their will 
and will not let them stop until
their voices still, their voices still.

Some others take a pen in hand 
and line up words upon demand
to march before reviewing stands 
at their command, at their command.

Now and then one joins the throng
for whom words seem to hum along 
and leave behind a hymn so strong,
it just belongs, it just belongs.

But we who teeter on the verge 
will use the written word to scourge 
the demons that we cannot purge 
or keep submerged, or keep submerged.
