'NOVEL' PAIN

I wasn't poor, being not rich

Life was fine, thanks to hope

All that changed, owing to muse,

With one 'novel' passion pure

Affairs I had, ten of them

Unknown to the lovers of books,

Coldshouldered by publishing folk

Manuscripts those ten make pillows

In my bed to cause nightmares,

With hope dead, I can't dream

Now I'm poor, robbed of hope.

    How many people believe they have a book they will write or a story that needs telling and they never do it? But you did! That is a victory in itself and is the most important part of being creative.

      Thanks for the kind words and I'm glad that I could place my body of work of free ebooks in the public domain https://g.co/kgs/nBg2GT
