Found Poem

Found Poem: Writers

WRITERS
       may seek advice and
WRITERS
       may give advice but
WRITERS
       rarely take advice.
WHY?
       because
WRITERS
      are stubbornly independent.
WRITERS
      are self-reliant,
           knowing that there is no one to really help them
      but themselves;
WRITERS
      hope to be "original"
WHICH
      means not following in the path of others.

From the book The Best Advice I Ever Got by Katie Couric.
Sub passage from "Here is life..." by Joyce Carl Oates.
