Cartographer
outline your story or go with the flow?
Where is the map?
Writing is a confusing terrain.
What do I say?
Will someone please explain?
We will help you, they say.
Words are simply checklists,
wire strings to puppet twists.
Well, actually, welcome the flow;
wing it, enjoy it, something will grow!
Wishful thinking is the path of destruction.
Wise up and utilize construction.
Words predetermined will multiply dread.
Woe to those without spontaneity in their head.
Without structure, you will get nowhere.
Without freedom, your joy will wear.
Which is the right?
Which is the wrong?
Was it both of them all along?

Thanks for reading! I hope you enjoyed.

Your writing style is so engaging! Im really enjoying your poetry, and the meta nature of it. Plus your comics are a joy! Im more of a go with the flow type writer, but I will always pay some kind of attention to outlines, if only to see what I dont wanna do…Chaos all the way!
Oh, I like this! Put me down as Fool #2. A great read, great drawing and I'll be reading more!
