The Writer's Creed

An Original Poem

Storytelling takes you on unexpected adventures. (original photo by John Coon)

Storytelling is no mere hobby for me. It is a passion which first took root during my childhood. I love creating stories through prose and through verse. I relish chances to explore new worlds and embrace new characters while following their journeys. For this reason, I pour my mind and soul into crafting stories and poetry. I want my words to bring the same joy to others that they bring to me.

In that spirit, I composed an original poem called The Writer’s Creed which encapsulates my feelings for writing and storytelling. I hope these verses offer you inspiration in your own creative efforts.

I write so I may live. 
I live so I may write. 
Words are my faithful compass
Rescuing ideas from darkness
Guiding thoughts into light.

My gift is opening closed doors.
My quest is unearthing treasures.
Words are my conduit of power.
Shaping hearts and changing minds
Day to day and hour to hour.

Let inspiration always guide my pen.
Let meaningful energy infuse my words.
I will embrace the storytelling art.
Find purpose in forming new worlds.
Their stories feed my soul's creative heart.
