A Page Unturned
A page unturned means the end of the story
For one will never know what came next
Whether it was a disaster, fame, or glory.
We start an adventure through the quarry
Something attracted us to the written text
A page unturned means the end of the story.
Having written it, an author does not worry
To know it happens leaves an author vexed
Whether it was a disaster, fame, or glory.
The writer knows the ending; it’s not blurry
But not finishing it leaves a reader perplexed
A page unturned means the end of the story.
A reader will begin with a determined flurry
But is discouraged by a plot that is complex
Whether it was a disaster, fame, or glory.
Getting to the last page, never be in a hurry
Hopefully, in the process, the mind will flex
Whether it was a disaster, or fame, or glory,
A page unturned means the end of the story.
