The poem “State the Day” was inspired by this poet’s juggling between writing poetry and pursuing interests that are more inductive to fame.
To be known has a price a due given to past works glittered trinkets that exclaim where the future may yet lay these become foundation’s curse basis given to later worth even though a fuller breadth is still there with relevance expectations become contrite sorrow given to circumstance when the outcome does not match the vision fixed upon the prize while a range of interests beg something else to the front for some time in the stead of fame’s need to state the day.
