True Confession Time

       I give up writing the ‘great American poem’…
           started after college
           in my garage
           but it was all a mirage…
       Now all my backers – I owe ‘em

Witty and painfully real—this confessional hits like a sigh from the heart of every writer who chased a dream through mirage and rhyme.

Hi Gershon, verse flows from you like honey being poured onto toast. Always write for yourself first. The poetry of a poet's life to be cherished. Shabbat Shalom.
