The Writer Site Poem by Denis Martindale

Time takes its toll upon Mankind, sometimes to cause distress,
Yet there are treasures still to find that bring us happiness.
Such that we treasure and esteem, revere and hold most dear,
Till something comes to melt that dream, another path to steer.
The writer may lay down his pen, watch TV shows instead,
Sign up for Netflix once again, let new films fill his head.
But when alerted to such things and just how much was lost,
He rises as with eagles' wings, prepared to pay the cost.
Investing time on poetry, like he did once before,
Regaining his humanity, because he's writing more.
And sharing with the world he knew, grants him new peace of mind.
To do what he was born to do: to write for all Mankind.
Just like the seasons come and go, refreshment takes its time.
This is the truth I've come to know and friends, that's quite sublime.
To think new poems can be found. Treasures beyond compare.
The Writer Site is still around. Take time to visit there...

Yes, thewritersite-dot-net features
many poets and writers and reviews...
Members post their work with a picture,
just like poemhunter poets here...

So it's useful to have a way to backup
our poetry elsewhere, or to use another
picture for that website... Thankfully,
the pinterest-dot-com website shows us
free stock image recommendations and
free photos even include fantasy art...
