Writing is worse than speaking

For Speaking is making words into orphans, ships without anchors or ports.
Writing is making words into monuments, bricks and mortar and all.
You can conveniently forget orphans, just let them be where you fled them.
But how easy can you escape monuments when you live in their shadows?

  1. I love this one. Well done with your creative twist on something all writers deal with: knowing we have to live with what we've written down and shown the world. But what you're showing us is worth the risk!
