Magnum Opus

Man of words, strange creature of fiery intention, Amplifying pictures with that restless imagination, Great are the images spurting forth from your pen, Nothing holds you down, working alone in the den; Unto the night you toil, pushed by an alien power, Mastering some inner demons, taming your fear. Oh how you search for truths floating up in the air, Producing tremors with the raging force they stir, Until at last your labors come to a perfect ending, Shaking humanity with the hard lessons they bring.

Congatulations. Very powerful, impressive write. Elegant acrostic, unforced rhyming and consistent cadence. That this did not place higher in the contest is a shame. Kathleen
