A Seeker of Words
Why do you write?
Why I am just sure
I have something to say
I may not know
But I still have something to say
Each one of us is unique
There will never be another
Just like me…or you
Our story is unique
A little bit like someone else’s
But still since I am unique
My story must be unique
And my way to tell it
Must be unique
Never been told before
I welcome you in
Have a seat
And we will share our stories
Where to begin?
Maybe in the middle
Or maybe at the end
It hardly matters
My story is the same
I have only to tell it
I want to get it out where I can see it
Write it down,see all the mis-steps
And all the good things that have happened
I am a seeker
A seeker of words
When only the “right” word will do
Begin at the beginning
Say it all the way through

and I think that every telling is also unique.
I want to get it out where I can see it...yes indeed. We need to see our hearts laid out on paper.
Yes, see it and write it. We all have a different voice and that makes for wonderful poets/ poetry. Thank you so much for writing for the prompt.
a chronicle for the chaos (in all the glories to cherish and desolations to mourn) for life - and something about capturing the transient nature of it all helps etch it into something, to be cherished, appreciated, perhaps "duly noted" and then, left to wing itself into something else, sun or star kissed, for everything is ever changing -
I love the idea of being a seeker of words, and love "tell it all the way through".
This is true. Even if your story is similar to someone else's, each person has a different way of telling it. That's why I say that everyone can write poetry. :)
I liked reading this, Annell, it tells my story in a way I couldn't tell. Nice, nice. When I read this I was thinking your finding of words was likened to finding the right color blend to put on your pallet. My vocabulary? Well it does find with the two, three, four, and five letter words. From there it is hit or miss if I ever find them. They are where the lost words (things for Mary Poppins) go.

I like the invitation in this poem and starting perhaps in the middle - or at the end - yet it is all the same story ;)
