The first line that we write may hold some clues
Whether in the words or their effect
That form a background to the writer’s views
The soft effect of adjectives imbues
The sentences and words with their affect
The first line that we write may hold some clues
Lacking feeling, what is it we lose?
Is the loss a sadness or defect
That forms a background to the writer’s views
Can we show emotion if we choose
Or have we got no space where we reflect?
The first line that we write may hold some clues
A loving friend shares warmth with their virtues
Silence may be best to hold,react
Form and shape give passage to our views
We may fear the bold and their attacks
As their vibrant voices air attack
The first line that we write may hide the clues
That form an understanding of our views
