Writers on the Web by Melissa Hougard
Melissa Hougard – contest prompt ‘Writers on the Web’
to follow Jim Morrison’s rhythm in ‘Riders on the Storm’
Writers on the web
Writers on the web
The looming of a storm
Where words begin to form
Like a dream outside your head
Penned thoughts are never dead
Writing on the web
Clouds are shifting in the sky
Her mind’s a puzzle to align
She tries to get away
Shadows haunt the grave
Gypsy writing in the night
Her pen can draw the light
Shifting in the sky, yeah
It will take you deep inside
There’s a world behind your eyes
Magic’s in the line
Truth is what you’ll find
A journey from the fray
Where poetry can sway
It takes you deep inside, yeah
Writers on the web
Writers on the web
The looming of a storm
Where words begin to form
Like a dream outside your head
Penned thoughts are never dead
Writing on the web

Poe would have loved this Melissa as I do. I loved the words, the rhythm,
“Like a dream outside your head
Penned thoughts are never dead
Writing on the web”
Lovely verse, I felt the oncoming storm and your words so perfectly formed. Bravo, loved it.
Thank you Vincent, what a kind comment, appreciate it very much. Glad you enjoyed my attempt. 🙂

Good work, Mel. Along the same lines as my own entry. I enjoyed this and glad you decided to join in.
Thank you John, yes I was happy to see you used the repeat stanza as well, I nearly removed it, but decided to stay true to the format. This was fun! 🙂

Mel
Beautiful Mel, just right for me, and my vote complete. Take care.
Aww, thanks Tony. This was a fun little challenge. I have shut down on my poetry, since the working of my memoir has been taking most of my writing time. Good to have a prompt now and then, to get me going, and thinking about something else. 🙂
Best,
Mel
