Fame, in everything & nothing gain.
Thus, you make me out of your name,
my own name, your name, fame, I am.
The few who never were but for fame,
even now inform me that I am.
Then I too can let writing inform fame,
inform the more than I am fame, I am.
Let fame but encounter my nom de plume,
alike as history is recorded nom de plume.
To the toll of the red masque death´s dance,
the vampire in Xanadu´s ruins does prance,
Caliban sealed in a cavern, in the hall of fame,
a vampire at an art exhibition, blood in the air,
we drink, burnt at the stake, fame we share.
Fame(revised)
Did you submit me this for the Winter issue of SP, Robin?
I LOVE the satire!
Cheers,
