Motto: Writers Helping WritersText Box: Rome Area Writers is made up of individuals who like to write and who support the literary arts, especially in Rome, Georgia. RAW salutes the Masters of the written word, and we honor many of them by placing their image on this website. It is the dream of all Rome writers to someday be listed among these distinguished authors. Another objective of RAW is to organize and support a Literary Festival in the city of Rome. Writers in Georgia and surrounding states would be invited to join us in support of the literary arts. Look for more information about this in the near future. You are invited to visit all parts of this website. It is our wish that you find ideas that will be an inspiration for you to begin or continue your journey in the written word. If you are interested in joining this group, you will find contact information by clicking “Contact Us” on the navigation bar to the left of this page or checking at the bottom of most any page on this website.

WRITER’S BLOCK

 

                 As if from a sorcerer’s pots

                 The idea sparks and flashes

                 With lightning rage,

                 But its expression just clots,

                 And becomes jumbled ink spots

                 Sprawling across the page.

 

                 But the idea is strong

                 And so it hangs on,

                 Demanding its paper stage,

                 And roars through your mind

                 The entire night long—

                 A lion trapped in a cage

 

                     

                     By Dr. C. Scott Williams

                  A Physician who lives in

                Huntsville, Alabama and

                   Author of Poetic Panacea
