Another Bad Day?

 

Another bad day?
Good,
Your art will thank you.

Bad days are just writing fodder.
Fuel for the fire.

More content.
Increasing tension.
Emotional depth.
Nuanced complexity.

Suffer now,
Write later.

Suffer now,
Draw later.

Suffer now,
Create later.

Past pain providing prospective pieces of professional products.
Proof that there is always a silver lining.


This poem is inspired by the book, ‘How To Write Evocative Poetry’.

You can read some chapters from the book, download a free copy, or purchase as a Paperback, eBook, Hardcover or Audiobook.
