I Mourn For the Beginner

Who loves a beginner? What counts except experience? In every aspect and field: Of romance, writing and working But where do you gain experience Without a first chance? Young novel writers Can only reap in old age If only they are lucky To live long like crows What was that? Common comments Of publishers, critics and guides Indeed, a wise query To awaken and fortify the beginners! Critics have muddied my land of birth With contemptuous phrases Is it really a literary desert? What with this poor reading culture, But where are the books From novel upcoming writers? Publishers exude words of hope To beginners In interviews and forums Later? What happened to yester day’s promises? Who adores beginners? Will they survive to be breadwinners?
