To
commemorate the completion of my one year at Coast this Week, I’d like to make
this edition a special dedication to all my fans and all the amazing writers
that read our paper each week.
Take
a tight grip on the pen,
Have
ready a paper that is plain,
This
is not just about the pain,
But
about all your dreams to have you claim.
Let
the ink pour its magic,
The
story full of tragic,
With
so well painted a tactic
Gently,
without being much frantic.
Oh
what’s a pen and paper without emotion?
Word
by word with so much precaution,
It
could be about that devastating explosion,
Or
perhaps your inner most expression!
Keep
the words flowing,
And
your memory, loading,
Touch
the heart of the one mourning,
And
one who is always frowning.
All
you have to do is create happiness,
In
this world, full of madness,
Let
your words bring the brightness,
To
celebrate all world’s greatness.
Venture
into the puzzling history,
The
things that were always a mystery,
Or
maybe of the grand victory,
Of
that incredible outstanding missy.
Let
your mind wander far and wide,
Into
the open and what’s in hide,
Could
be of the runaway bride,
Or
of the downfall of manly pride.
Imagine,
imagine, imagine
Let
your ink fill between your margins,
Narrate
of the famous assassin
And
even in politics be sure to indulge in.
Go
capture that inside story,
Even
if it means going up the storey,
Or
maybe even to the quarry,
Can’t
you do that much for your own glory?
Be
sure to be nothing but the best,
All
people’s attention ensure you arrest,
You
just have to keep away the haste,
And
continue with the spirit of great zest.
A
hand I give to all those who think,
Who
take a risk to be on a new story’s brink,
Whom
we always want to mimic,
With
a drop of their magic ink!
To
all the aspiring writers reading this, I salute you all!
