• writing is a forest
    on the paper words are growing
    like wind through the trees,
    the words are flowing
    flowing and pooling into a story

    and like a forest
    there are lots of creatures hiding
    you just have to stop and notice
    all the creatures abiding
    like literary elements

    and the trees
    throughout are changing
    leaves, blossoms, fruit, color
    character traits rearranging
    until the story's through

    to remember walking through the forest
    noticing that and this
    reread, rewrite your story
    and you will reminisce
    writing is a forest
