Description
I am a scientist;Pinning down ideas
like butterflies
preserving them in
their fragile beauty
as I take away their freedom,
their life.
I am a parasite;
sucking the soul out
of music and leaving it
a hollow shell
that plays like
the noisy silence in
my ears.
I am a thief;
taking what is not mine,
the world around me,
and pouring it into
a mould that
I claim is
my own.
I am a blasphemer;
playing God in a
sacred place, changing
the world to my
liking when the orchestra
is not under my
conduction.
I am a liar;
selling false havens
to lonely runaways,
giving them a glimpse
of a world more glamorous,
more fantastic than their own,
smiling as I snatch it
from under their noses
while they thank me
for my crime.
I am a slave;
hanging in a
leeching relationship
with the language I choose,
caving to its rules
when I draw in
smears of its
blood.
I am a writer –
these are my vices.

Amazing. Just perfect. I don't know if it's good, but the day before I was talking with a couple of my friends and when they started teasing me I told to them : I'm not fast, I'm not strong, I'm not fit or muscular but when it comes to writing and imagining I can stand on the top of the hills and shout, at the 20 thousand people of this city, COME AT ME BRO. I have to admit that your poem really inspired me of what I am and what I want to be.

Thank you very much.Can I ask you something? I am from Greece and I would like to translate your poem to greek. Would that be ok with you?

That would be absolutely fine with me! May I ask for credit though if you post it online, and permission to post it on my own dA account as well?

Yes of course no problem with me. I'll begin in a couple of days because my computer needs an upgrate.

Would it be ok with you if a wrote a poem, which is some kind of expansion of this one?

Although that sounds fun, I designed this poem to be complete in itself. I feel that extending it any more, especially in the same format, would kind of water it down. So sorry

Ok, I wrote on referring to me and what I am going to be and what I am.

...I don't quite understand, but if it's something to do with the translation, I trust your judgement.

Basically I expressed it wrong. I wrote a poem about what I am as a writer which is formed like the one you wrote. I am going to submit it and if you have a problem with it I am going to delete it.

Interesting way to cover the varied influences under which a writer will conduct the commentary of the whole mankind. Interesting that it seemed by the end of the poem that the things for which we thought were the subject simply became adjectives to the true subject of the piece, the employment of a person as a writer.

This is really beautiful. As a writer, I completely see where you're coming from. Sometimes, the vices are part of what make it fun, at least I think. ^^

Wow.
Seriously.
This is... so unique. And the metaphors are perfect in a surprising sort of way (good surprise). Interesting spin on the mind of a writer, yet still entirely relatable.

Wow, interesting and original poem! I liked how you structured it, the simplicity of its stanzas and the metaphores each of them is based on.

This is really, really good. As a fellow writer, although not nearly as good with words as you are, I think this is probably the best poem I've ever read on here... Very good!
