Digesting a Poem From a Writer
Everybody has a story to tell
Publishers put the pages together to sell
Leather bounded and sewn
Message marketed over the phone
It takes days to years
Sweating blood emotional tears
A package arrives in the author’s mail
Books for donation or sale
A commentary on life shared
Creative interpretation setting off an understanding flare
No one gets hurt in fictional genre
Dropping subtle hints entertaining with drama
Is there a problem?
We do not know
Compose a story and let the angry discussion go
Expressing opinions in a debate
Could solve a situation creating the hate
Started by a mistake
Needing to be made straight
Acting like a safety basin
Novelist issues are ray sin
An antagonist with an evil glow
Displaying topics letting the pages flow
Next time a reader encounters a piece
Sit back and enjoy the typing tease
Put the red pen down
Listen to the writer’s sound
Contents on the electronic paper counts
Especially when the tension mounts
After closing a book
Digesting the meal from the penning cook
Exercising intellectual concern
Working out when the lesson is learned
A healthy imagination a must
When developing fantasy based on trust
