Until the Writing's Done

I've written a number of these sort of verses now, trying them out on the blogs first but I intend to put them in a short book of verse for writers on Lulu eventually.

When you're writing on a daily basis
Life can get quite tough
When you've had your fill of names and faces
But must complete those empty spaces
Then you know you've had enough.

Every time you hit those keys each day
You wonder why you do it.
Writing articles for little pay
Hunting down the words that get away
The writing gets you through it.

For write you will and blood you'll spill
To do that which you love.
You'll write that stuff which you find tough
You'll see it through, it's what you do.
The writing is enough.

When you've paid those bills you'll have the time
To write words just for fun.
To visit worlds you'll never see
To play with words so cleverly
Until the writing's done.
