Benefits of Words and Thoughts [String Senryu]

by Khalid M Darwish   Mar 31, 2013


What's the benefit
of writing many words which
can't enlighten minds?

What's the benefit
of deep thoughts which can't cure wounds
or don't wipe off tears?

What's the benefit
of a honest repentance
which cannot cleanse hearts?

With your repentance
you can show the rightness and
reveal the falseness

With pen and thoughts, build
a monument under which
people may unite

    Sir, this is fabulous!!! I like the sincerity in your words and yes, everyone has a motive behind penning those words and sheer writing with no meaning can help gain nothing!
    Keep writing:)

    In my opinion, as a writer, I write to heal. Whether it's for myself or others, I write to reveal, to explain, to inspire. Much in the way that songwriters do, novelists and artists of all forms.

    I like this piece. You took a simple form and twisted it into a powerful write. And that itself is a reason for writing, making powerful words, thinking and penning those thoughts.

    Great write, Khalid
