For The Reader

M. Mohon

It starts the same way every time.
With a clean sheet of paper.
No marks or defective traits of any kind.


Then, with a few strokes of a pen
Comes a word, which becomes a sentence.
Something forming out of arbitrary lines.


The order then is processed.
Words are changed and some deleted
Making way for others in their stead.


Giving life to every sentence
As the words begin to paint
a vivid picture as the written words are read.


Thus, by scrawling on the paper
What could easily be nothing,
The writer tries to let the reader feel.


They can tell a tragic story.
Or make the heart grow fonder
As the reader's mind interprets the writer's will.


They say reading lets you travel
To places far away and internal.
It let's you be overjoyed or even makes you cry.


So, I'll use all of my emotions
From every win and every battle
To bring you, the reader, a story to get you by.

    I think you have put into words that which most of us feel. Good write.

    Love it, but i would suggest one improvement to ease your workflow. Use a word processor, so much easier and less messy.
