The Muse Speaks To The Writer Harriet Nicholas
Work
Work - I said
Work!
Pick up the pen
Think and write
Be sensible
And think hard
Do not let it get to you
Keep your goal in mind
What is your goal, you ask?
To get something out of work!
To get that wonderful feeling of satisfaction!
How? you ask?
If it is a matter of time . . .
Well,
Within a certain period
Not too slow
Not too fast
And then,
You will have the satisfaction of having done it
Proper!
Don't sit down and sigh,
Get up!
It takes effort to make love work
It takes effort to paint
To build
To simply live!
Is that what you moan about?
Foolish child
Get up and make your life work
Make me proud
Make it so everytime you speak
It is with pride
Not regret
Joy
And not guilt
Excitement
Instead of fear
Get that pen moving!
And never forget my words

"You have heard this probably many times, and you will hear it again, a truly inspiring poem for writers that means to have someone behind them pushing and urging them to go on. I think I will keep this poem close although at times it is a bit repetitive in a sense." -- Nicola.
