I write for all of the reasons you do, and sometimes I just write because I have to write, because the words are inside of me and I'll burst if I don't! (Hate when that happens at 3a.m.!) The three early lines with "something" and different verbs were my favorite -- neat repetitious structure! :-)JenniferMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09603450967368808356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4042407720611831077.post-30135323795249778022013-03-18T08:34:48.927-04:002013-03-18T08:34:48.927-04:00It's a beautiful poem Betsy.

I prefer to verbally process with someone, but that is not always possible living by myself. So, I write.
