Comparing values ...

BECOMING AN AUTHOR

 

For a paragraph
in the local paper,
his face on TV, an
inch or two on the
library shelf... he
seals himself in a
cell of solitude ...

 

denies his eyes the
beauty of nature:
sunset, sunrise,
sprays of silver o'er
rippling cobalt--
even the pure azure
that free lovers see.

 

Oh, how austerely
he regiments his
short allotted days,
all for a temporary
season of praise:
author, author!

Isn't that the truth! Nicely penned.

How true your words Delma and how, as always, so very well written.
Fondly,
Marcia
