Writers are not born professionals,<\/p>\n
Their capability to struggle is vital.<\/p>\n
“Pen is mightier than sword”,<\/p>\n
Like playing with terrific words.<\/p>\n
Read between the lines,<\/p>\n
Until you turn nine.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
There is the chaos in the crowd,<\/p>\n
As critics raise their voices aloud.<\/p>\n
Reading is to mind,<\/p>\n
Like exercise is to the body,<\/p>\n
Take lessons in creative writing from somebody.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
By hook or crook,<\/p>\n
We burn the midnight oil,<\/p>\n
As food wrapped in a foil.<\/p>\n
Sleepless nights with racing thoughts,<\/p>\n
I became a freelance writer,<\/p>\n
Without giving a second thought.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It’s just the starting,<\/p>\n
As batsman hits six to earn innings.<\/p>\n
The world of imagination,<\/p>\n
Makes me ponder over,<\/p>\n
Like putting up my thinking cap,<\/p>\n
To work with dedication.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
From amateurish to prolific,<\/p>\n
Fluency will come, so be quick.<\/p>\n
Competing in contests,<\/p>\n
Lifts our spirits,<\/p>\n
Don’t worry if you can’t win it.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Mastering the skill,<\/p>\n
If there is a will,<\/p>\n
There is a way,<\/p>\n
So, make hay while the sun shines,<\/p>\n
Those worthy write-ups are mine.<\/p>\n
Chasing my dream,<\/p>\n
Like eating the sweet cream.<\/p>\n
Sometimes, up and down,<\/p>\n
Don’t spoil your face with a frown.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Achievements will come in handy,<\/p>\n
It’s my job and a necessity.<\/p>\n
One day, will I be grinning?<\/p>\n
Of course, others say you, will achieve success,<\/p>\n
Stop counting numbers in excess.<\/p>\n
Thank God, for this rare talent,<\/p>\n
Will write in the present moment.<\/p>\n
