The Fortunate Spark
You must bite while there is still
meat on the bone.
Writing starves without sustenance.
So take a bite and write!
Make it a point to bite off
more than you can chew.
It just may make a writer of you.
Perhaps no reader will ever make sense
of a single sentence you compose;
a thought that ignites you with serious strife.
But all it takes is one fortunate spark!
And a series of words you raw imagined,
then cooked and cobbled together,
amazingly, somehow...
Changed someone's life.
