Delusions of Poetry

“The writer must believe that what he is doing is the most important thing in the world. And he must hold to this illusion even when he knows it is not true.” John Steinbeck

How do you come up with this magic? God Almighty, amazing. And in all of it my favorite part is the last line where you drop the mic and walk away. High five plus a strong 7+
