The Perfect Day to Write

A rainy day, a restful night,

Today’s the perfect day to write.

The candles lit, no work to do,

To write a story, I must first review.

I edit out, revise, delete,

To make good work, I cannot cheat,

It's hard to plan, to finalize,

The plot which reaches reader's eyes.

It does not need to be perfect yet,

It’s the first draft, I should not sweat.

I know that this advice is wise,

Though I cannot help but criticize.

All that said, this is my dream,

To write hidden worlds, not as they seem.

I love my stories, flaws and all.

To write my characters through their falls.

It will be worth it in the end.

To share these fantasies with my friends.
