At first meeting, I was besotted with books & their world beautiful,
Embarked on brave adventures through a kaleidoscope wonderful!
I noted the bonds, details and experiences that greeted me on my way.
I felt the need to express them & share; there was so much to bank & say...
All those bewitching sights, sounds, tastes and smells now found expression.
I earned a brand new identity for myself & succeeded in creating an impression!
As I sincerely put in my best, sunrise and sunsets, days and nights flew by-
Writing was my best-friend- supported & motivated me & made me feel high!
My world is now in full bloom; I can hear the bugles play in the band!
Free music of writing; no brakes/breaks in this Besottted Writer's land!
When I write, I get lost, ready to give it my blood & tears & everything I've got.
Ah! The beauty of writing! At the end of the rainbow I've found my gold-pot!
Writing makes me feel happy & no more blue!
I am a Besotted Writer. Are you one too?

ReplyDeleteenjoyed the B sounds of your poem.
ReplyDeleteWell said its true writing is a reflection of ones soul.
ReplyDeleteHi Anita! I am also besotted by books. I can be in bookshops for hours if they let me stay!. Now I have to find people who want to have my books because i don't want my children to sort out all the things I have when I am gone.
ReplyDeleteOne of them lives in Australia.
Well Anita, I wish you a very happy week.
Wil, ABCW Team.
It's like reading a mind-quilt! Lovely collection.
ReplyDeleteWell, I will say you made use of a wide variety of Totomai's photos as well as a wide variety of prompts....yes, as Marilyn said, a mind-quilt.
ReplyDeleteThis is a rich tapestry of words and beautiful images, love it
ReplyDeleteluv this pictured poem

I enjoyed your poem and the way you incorporated so many of Totomai's photos. Brilliant!
ReplyDeletesmiles...lovely writing through the pictures to tell your own story...I really like the earning a new identitiy by creating an expression or impression.....it feels so good to bloom eh?
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely poem on books and writing, Anita! I like the flow of thoughts and expressions in this one. Nicely done!
ReplyDeleteI like the relation between the photos and the commitment. This reads like a manifesto.
ReplyDeleteGreat use of words with a "B". Thanks for the wonderful photos, Anita. The blooms in red are awesome.
ReplyDeletenice that you reflected on so many of his photos... it's good to get lost when writing: it provides a wonderful escape from anything that might be bothering you... smiles
ReplyDeleteA great read and the pictures are beautiful. Writing, for me, certainly did begin with reading. Waiting for the Bloom. Thanks for this wonderful (or B for beautiful) piece of writing.
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining in on Wednesday Wit and Wisdom.
ReplyDeleteThis is so beautiful and filled with good vibes. Breezy and enjoyable:)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful wandering in color and mood of being a writer.
ReplyDeleteYes, indeed, I am besotted. And often aided by photography and alliteration. Very nice ride, this.
ReplyDeleteYou have brilliantly blended the B words to make a beautiful post
ReplyDeleteAs always, enjoyed reading it!
ReplyDeleteAnd the pics are beautiful :)
I enjoyed reading your thoughts and looking at Totomai's colorful photos.....a feast!
ReplyDeleteReally gr8 writing! Besotted u r!:-D
ReplyDeletebesotted! what a great word!
ReplyDeleteROG, ABCW
i am not a writer as a writer should be for when i write i just talk about what i want to share. You see Anita times are such that these days of facebooking and whatts apping people are not actually sharing anymore. We r just forwarding stuff. We are not sharing our joys and sorrows anymore. We are seriously lacking companionship. My reason for blogging actually started out with that...all that i had to talk about my own discoveries...personal or otherwise about nature i realized not many of my so called school or college frnds had neither the time nor the inclination for that. But then there was this itch...nostalgic memories that needed to be shared...some that were getting extinct...rituals that i don't see anymore...the discoveries i was making as i planted or observed...
ReplyDeleteSo i can't call myself a writer.
But you are and i enjoy how you do in all your nuances. Like this one. This one is colorful and has words which i love. Words and colors and i love both. Enjoy reading good work and this was one.
Thank you for stopping by at my post. Have done one again. Hope u will stop by and give it a dekho.
i must confess though that as i read some of the blogposts like yours and others who are writers i wish to improve...i wish that as i go on my way one day i discover my own 'gold pot' .
love & hugzz
Shivani
P.S Thanks to Susan too for the word alliteration...haven't heard the word for a long long time...not since school...really. That was great hearing it again and revisiting what it means. Whoa!
What a fine way to describe your passion for writing..I see it in a painter's (other artists) soul, too...as if we HAVE to write and paint!
ReplyDeleteAnita it sure is a pleasure always .. the words and the picture say a lovely story .. Thank you for sharing it with us all and Now we also know how you manage to write so nicely afterall the passion to write..

Almost every writer I know is also an avid reader and has been since they were young. Books unlocked our minds to other worlds, lives and adventures, and nurtured our creativity so that we could then tell tales of our own!
ReplyDeleteWords and pictures in perfect harmony.
ReplyDeleteA wonderful combination of words and views.
ReplyDeleteYour lines made me feel awesome as a writer. A very beautiful poem which comes straight from your heart (It's obvious) :)
ReplyDeleteI liked the way in which you have narrated your writing journey and combined it with beautiful photos. A treat to the eyes and ears. :)
ReplyDeleteThat's a lovely poem Anita :-) sharing it!
ReplyDeleteOutstandingly beautiful creation, Anita! Terrific!!
ReplyDeleteAfter reading this I feel it's a sheer boon for a writer to be besotted. :')
ReplyDeleteWonderful poem! And yes, I am a besotted writer too :)
ReplyDeletewell done, Anita, beautiful, very unconventionally imaginative :-)
