Notes About The Poem

The Great American Novel

The Great American Novel,
Is what I’m working on,
For it shall be a marvel,
To show of dusk and dawn.

Oh, it will tell of wonders,
Of all the good and bad,
The miracles and blunders,
Of happy and the sad.

It shall be an epic tale:
Adventures far and great!
Through hot and cold, rain and hail,
The curves upon the straight.

By now you may be smitten,
Of just have far I’ve got,
On paper what I’ve written,
In truth, is not a lot.

But what I have’s colossal,
And right in front to look,
The Great American Novel,
My title of the book.
