A Thought To The Writer
I’ve decided – no concluded
That there is no finished product –
That the motto is revision,
Which takes courage and reflection;
Perspective, understanding that
It’s destiny that leads,
Needs continually changing,
As are viewpoints –
Frame of reference
Ever you.
When you’re reading what you’ve written
(I say this from observation)
You’ve come back a different person.
You discover when reviewing,
What was smitten needs renewing:
Shakespeare tearing up the script,
To Romeo and Juliet
Because he thought the first was sh_t.
No double suicide;
No place where anyone has died.
Yes, there is no finished product;
Not in literature or life.
We inspect, reflect, reject
And we rewrite.
