Songwriter

Songwriter The songwriter gained great wealth and fame. Until the songs no longer came. The price paid for wealth and fame is never known. Until the moment it comes due. At his moment, he knew. His price was suicide.

Sadly, this happens more than one would imagine. From stardom to suicide.. drugs, alcohol or failure to rise again can take the blame for so many. Great writing, Warren! Charlie

Dear Warren, sometimes the brightest flames burn out the fastest. A sadly expressive poem with a striking last line. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan
