Writers' Needs

.
a writer must carve
huge chunks out of time
for himself

a writer must have
the ability to hold onto
an image ...long

also, patience, intelligence
some knowlege
and a starting bit of inspiration

these things,along with
a comfortable place for his chair,
some paper, pens,
and, preferably, a full bottle
of (state your preference),
are the basic necessities

but mostly,
a writer must have
a high tolerance
for lonliness

Writing is an acquired knowledge,
Of jugglery of words
From the dictionary,
A poet is no writer,
He composes
And
To which adds on
A pop singer like you,
His voices,
Then completes the cycle or circus
Say what you like
It is a writer,
Poet
And
Composer
Who finally melody disposes
