When you swim with other writers
You can’t help getting wet
If you’re interested
In others writing
And you delve into the artists net
If you appreciate
Their words
And their feelings
In print
If you empathise
With what they say
And run when they sprint
If you respect other writers
And are inspired by their goals
If you’re encouraged by their fruitfulness
And the honey that flows
If you actually like other writers
And aren’t intimidated
When they win
If you’re not jealous of them
And comfortable
In your own writing skin
Then you my friend
Will go far
In your writing endeavours
You’ll soar in the sky
With rainbow coloured feathers
When you fly with other writers
You’ll always be inspired
Your energies will revive
Each other
And you’ll never grow tired
If you help other writers
Lift them up
And make them strong
This will be a family
And you will belong.
