The rise and fall of popularity...

LITERARY STARS

 

Given the mutability of literary style
and the popularity of "new," even
a best-seller star might dim
quickly, and die.

 

And after the fall, and the author
loses notoriety, he/she, may with
effort extraordinary, briefly
gain another sky.

 

But, eventually, the prized remains
of every writer's dedication will
languish in some outdated tomb,
doomed to die.

 

Except, maybe once in a century, a
career literary excavator will find a
missing masterpiece, and chime it
back to a new high.

Oh what a web some can weave. One should endeavor to try new things for their enjoyment and leave the rest for others to decide....

Be always safe,

Delma, Popularity is not necessarily a good thing, it seems to be a contest to create a loser, it is respect and appreciation of a work well done that is important to me. Thank you for sharing, I enjoy your style. Warmth and Love to you.
