Welcome to Writers Who Have To...

We are a forum of writers. If you're interested in becoming a contributor, send your desired username and email to Jill at: info@writerswhohaveto.com or visit Writers Who Have To... on MySpace.

Write whatever you'd like, whenever you want! This is an open forum for like minded authors. Feedback and comments are necessary! Remember, there are no holds barred, here.

For writers: When publishing make sure to add your username as a tag/label (you'll see the bar at the bottom of your blog edit window). This way it'll be much easier to pull up your work all in one go. Also, if you'd like you can add the type, ie: Short Story, Poetry, Blog, Rant, etc to your labels as well as the genre. This will make sorting much easier! Thank you!

WRITE IT OUT!!!
Remember: Comments are necessary for the survival of all writers!! Feedback is love and love is grand!!!

sometimes

It speaks to me in the dead of the night
So many empty glasses greet me
Ash tray full
The story, can you tell my life?

I hear it. And I hear you.

There's nothing left to say
We have to fix these insipid holes
we've tried desperately to fill
with what we've wanted.

It's not enough to hold onto.

The emptiness enfolds us
and the night grows longer
still, being so far away
brings us closer.

Sometimes...

I liked the quiet sadness. For all that it is quiet, it's not despair. There's hope, but it's fragile like spun glass. Great piece!
