She said (a way with words)
She said,
“You have a way with words.”
But too often
my words
just get
in the way.
So, I jump
from line to line
and
letter to letter
as I fill in
the roadmap
from there to here.
And even so,
I always get lost
along the way.
Scott Burton is a writer & artist from Winston-Salem NC. His work consists mainly of poetry and prose as well as venturing into the novella realm from time to time. He is a dreamer and hopeless romantic – to a fault. With decades worth of poetry and prose in the archives, he writes what he can’t speak, using his art to release all that dances within his mind and heart. His writing has served as therapy, often dealing with the darker side of life, love, and the like. His writing crosses genres and themes and is always raw with emotion and serves as a window into his soul. He self-published his first book “Forever is Tomorrow” in 2010, and released an updated 2nd edition January 2023 and has an archive of work spanning decades and made up of thousands of pieces.
