Write Where You Want to Be
National Day on Writing is October 20, a day to acknowledge the significance of writing as a crucial skill and as a form of art. This special day encourages everyone to appreciate and engage in writing activities. Write On!
Natural High – by Don Mathis
I write when I like.
Lay down my pen, pick it up again.
Write to my son or congressman
or fire a letter to the editor.
Mail it and then forget.
Until another idea
compels me to scamper for paper.
Or the phone rings on my answering machine,
“We need your OK to run your essay.”
Or I glean a magazine
and see my handle in the contents table.
Maybe a legislator will answer my letter.
Or I get a warm greeting at the poetry reading.
I smile for a while
and sigh – A Natural High.
