Such a sweet little short story; I'm sure the judge had a really difficult time choosing the winner for that edition of "The Writer's Cramp" . Choosing to live alone is one thing, but also having to endure all the memories and recurring events by yourself is tough.
I'm offering these comments on Stay True to Yourself, a fabulous little verse in both senses of the word, which you posted on I Write.
It was a joy for me to savour these words of wisdom, delivered in the indisputably authentic voice of the feathered sage of fable him (or her) self. The rhymes and rhythms are direct and simple, befitting the message they convey and I particularly appreciated your signature touch - 'whooo' - which told me this could only be the work of one poet.
Much enjoyed, as ever, and I wish you success in the contest!
What does it mean, the freedom to write?
Does it mean the mind is free
The heart has no cares
The soul yearns to share?
What does it mean, the freedom to write?
Does it mean there is no censorship
Nobody banning books
No authors imprisoned for their words?
What does it mean, the freedom to write?
Does it mean a private space,
Some time to yourself, to ponder and pen
Does it mean your family respecting your silence?
What does it mean, the freedom to write?
Does it mean all this, and more?
Writers can move mountains, change history
Writers are powerful, whether bound or free ...
What does it mean, the freedom to write?
It should include the freedom to read
To understand to empathize, to reach out
The freedom to be human, with other human beings.
