Sincerely Yours, a Book Worm

I am but a worm Bowed down at your shrine, Offering up What small words are mine. I know it's unlikely Your heights I'll attain So I'm resigned to repeat, To revise yet again. This drudgery, toil, And all to what gain? To lift up from this soil A sweeter refrain. My dearest book fairy, Look kindly on me, And give me some hope that A poet I’ll be.?

The Bible is proof of big gaps between inspiration, recording, and editing, yet each is a skill requiring repeated application to attain perfection! Go for it! Why Wait? Aloha! Rico
