To Write Or Not To Write Poem by Terence George Craddock

to write or not to write
that is the posed poetic question
each writer novelist poet
could craft their own
unique prose answer but
do these writers novelists poets
really know from which creative wells
their writing springs?
do they know when why how they write?

as a concise answer
why write why start
what was catalyst cause
where do themes characters
styles tensions motifs originate?
how do part time writers poets

find the time to write?
do they write late
into week nights on weekends?
do they sacrifice rare long hard
earned work holidays time out
to write write write?
do they write best
by day by night

alone or in crowded house?
do they write best
in a specific season?
winter wrapped up warm by heat
warming fire flames warm house cold house?
or do they write best in heat in summers hot?
