Query Theory
A query is a letter
And could be a starting step
To discover if an agent
Might become your writing rep.
It’s a process, I am learning,
Which takes hours of your time,
Often never making progress
Up the mountain you must climb.
The advice that I have gotten
Said, “Be patient and expect
Many, many more rejections
Than attempts that might connect.”
That makes sense, so I won’t wallow
In predictable defeat,
But my query theory lets me dream,
And fantasy is sweet.
