    Read it! - a poem for writers
    Posted by Peter on Thursday, January 03 @ 18:48:57 EST
    On Writing
    read again your Words
    a Stranger to Yourself, with Best Intentions
    discover the Relationships
    Unintended Offspring, Orphan Facts
    and Broken Promises

    sleep on it
    your Unmade Bed
    let Dreams come, welcome Serendipity
    avoid Pointless Flirtation
    acknowledge Friends and Sources

    Contradiction and Failure
    can make You strong
    face Them fairly, use Them well
    Respect may foster
    Unexpected Resolutions

    imagine Future Readers
    be remembered well, if at all
    find your Own Way, with Words
    then read it, again, and again
    before The Letting Go

    Peter Matthews, Kawasaki 2.1.2002
