Free Verse Friday: The Written Word

Open book glowing with golden light and swirling pages in a cozy reading nook, with a smartphone and stacked books nearby. A dramatic lightning storm shines through the rain-covered window in the background.

Welcome to Another Free Verse Friday!

What emotions stir up in you about writing or reading something you can’t put down? Write a poem about how writing and reading make you feel.

The Written Word

Writing is just as unpredictable as a storm. 
You never know where it’s going.
Fierce and deadly.

It comes bearing gifts.
Promises of stories that’ll keep you turning the page.
Keeps you up past bedtime.

A Book never leaving your hands.
A Phone permanently glued to your hands.
Eyes never moving from the pages.
Eyes never moving from the screen.

“Just one more page,” you say.
The written word captures you and never lets you go.
