How Does Your Writing Influence You? Poem by Denis Martindale

If you're like me, then you must know,
That writing is exciting!
When suddenly you're in full flow,
Such that your mood is brightening…
And verses follow one-by-one
And sweet rhythms rally round
And all at once, it feels like fun
And it's like you're Heaven-bound…

If you're like me, you try your best
And that's just the way it is…
So that not only you get blessed
As you strive to share your bliss…
When there's a broad smile on your face
And you stop to have a laugh…
When poetry falls into place
With each verse on the right path…

If you're like me, you write a lot
And the days go whizzing by…
It doesn't matter, cold or hot,
As you know you've got to try…
So God bless you in what you write
If the Lord likes what you share…
So that the Lord grants you insight
And true love beyond compare…
