when a writer tells a story
riddled with magic and impossibilities,
i stare spellbound, hanging on every word.
the imagination flows from every handpicked word,
entire worlds are created and destroyed by sheer willpower.
right prevails, and the writer earns applause.

Glad you enjoyed them! I agree, poetry really can be so different. β€ That's good to hear! I've been doing well. In a pesky writing slump, but writing little stuff like this poetry seems to be helping me get unstuck. π

I enjoyed your poetry! I also enjoyed the theme of writing and why we write that you wove throughout all of them. Very nicely done.
Also, I tagged you… http://jenelleschmidt.com/life-lessons-learned-from-fantasy-tag/ no pressure to actually do it!
