Inviting Writing
When is a Reader Really Reading?
"I learned never to empty
the well of my writing,
but always to stop
when there was still something there
in the deep part of the well,
and let it refill at night
from the springs that fed it."
Ernest Hemingway
(1899 - 1961)
Good writing evolves like a dance,
As well-crafted phrasings do prance;
With penmanship fine,
A skillful design,
And meanings beyond the first glance.
A writer composes a chord,
A topic from the smorgasbord -
A few simple notes,
And maybe some quotes -
Impossible when one is bored.
For readers adore a buffet;
Creative words urge them to stay -
A phrasing intact,
Either fiction or fact,
May keep them from clicking away.
