Besides a pencil or pen,
Paper, and an imagination,
You need the ears of a moth,
A bird’s vision,
A Philomath’s brain,
A Hippocratic heart,
And an empath’s spirit,
Then mix in incidents from your life.
Let simmer,
And you’ll write.
You’ll write.
A wonderful poem that makes me reflect about both the craft of a writer and the necessary ingredients needed to create a powerful piece of writing.

“A Hippocratic heart”
Great line.
Thank you for your comment, Harris.
The pen of a writer is a deep well. The words themselves are Life! You have summed up the expanse and depth of the writer’s brain and heart. Thank you for sharing a piece of your soul.
