Here are my 33 words as to why I spend these precious seconds of my life putting words to paper or, key strokes to screen, as it were. This is the weekend challenge from Trifextra.
Like a canary in a coal mine,
a fog horn's gloomy cry,
a message in a bottle adrift on a endless sea,
I write to save my soul.
I write to be heard.
Intense. I like the imagery in that first stanza - very compelling.
ReplyDeleteThe canary in a coal mine is an interesting image. Saving your soul and being heard are great reasons to write.
