This poem is related to my journal named "how in the fuck?". :p

Hey there,

 

Prettyflour here on behalf of :iconpoeticalcondition: with the critique you requested.

 

I was draw to this piece after reading the title- I simply adore reading poetry about writing and/or writers!  The structuring is really cool- reminds me of a set of stairs- and gives this poem a really nice visual quality.

 

The rhyme and flow of the piece work well, and the message is one that I agree with- that we should write to express ourselves and not for any other reason.  Writing is so…personal for many people (myself included) and I would write even if not one single person reads my words.

 

Overall, an enjoyable read, I really like this.  J

Thank you for sharing your words!
