TRYING, a poem

 

Denied the gift of genius

by genes or just circumstance,

the ordinary poet or writer

relies upon a muse, education,

experience and extensive reading

 

Attaining rare greatness

demands skill and focus

and of course, achievement

Yet the great are shadows

of the fulfilled genius

 

Success for the majority

requires a willingness to work

without the acclaim of others,

but with the pleasure of trying

to achieve creative moments


A suggestion: try my novel, THE TRUCKERS, on Kindle
