The heart of a writer
The Creative Exiles
All they asked was a fair chance
a place in which to enjoy
a floor in which to dance
What they made us was exiles
without a home or a pen
no place to show our styles
How do we thank John and Phyllis
all the rest
but to pick up the pen
to give them the best
The heart of the writer
the free will of the soul
The creative exiles
makes any writer whole
Thank you .
Sometime in my life, I started to write about my life journey, or in poetry, in story perhaps to sort out the missing from the found perhaps and enter them into a place of safekeeping. The soul of the writer is perhaps best described in their own words, emotions and thoughts. If these poems or stories touch something inside you then maybe I have succeeded in sharing. I will not write about my self in profile, because self isn't so important in writing. Only the journey in words and the sharing are important. Why would we say "Now about me!"... I'd rather write about life, nature, serenity ...

Thank you for penning these kind and encouraging words, Ed. Members like you make the decision to create this site worthwhile.
Ed, thank you so much for this lovely inspiring poem. This is very sweet of you. So happy you like it here. TCE is very special to us because of our great writers, like you.
We’re glad to have you and your contributions Ed
I so agree with Ralph. The three of us (John, Ralph, and I) each have an important part to keep TCE going, and we work well together. The most important part of TCE are the writers and their contributions. Thank you again, Ed.
Thank you so much. Most inspirational and encouraging.
A heart-felt thank you and tribute to all those behind this site, where we all enjoy the freedom and connection with those who, as we, love the written word. Nicely done Ed.
