Visit the spaces where writers, musicians, and illustrators create

When I read excellent "page-turners," I often wonder what surroundings led the writer to create such masterpieces. Imagine my joy when I came across this site! By the time you reach the end of the 116 glorious pages, I'm sure you will want to create your masterpiece--whether plays, songs, novels, or drawings.

My attempt at an "I Am" poem

I was in a poetry-writing mood yesterday but didn't know how to get started. So, I Googled the phrase 'poetry template.' Here's my attempt at an I AM poem based on the template found here:



I Am

I am spiritually deep and imaginative.
I wonder how a thought is made.
I hear the collective voices of authors represented on my bedroom bookshelves.
I see ocean waves clapping.
I want to publish a novel.
I am spiritually deep and imaginative.

I pretend I'm preaching on a platform.
I feel my hair and fingernails growing.
I touch the sky reflecting on a pond.
I worry about all the secret abuse occurring right now.
I cry at the mention of aborted babies.
I am spiritually deep and imaginative.

I understand the existence of angelic beings.
I say you reap what you sow.
I dream about elevators and courtyards.
I try to forgive injustices as quickly as possible.
I hope to travel to Vienna, Austria someday.
I am spiritually deep and imaginative.
