Faith Ellen Lam Poet Quatrain

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.?

Why Wait? Aloha! Rico Faith Ellen Lam June 13, 2019 at 4:57 PM Thank you for your encouragement, Rico!
