A challenge grows before me
Like a tidal wave of words,
Rising up before me
As a flock of angry birds
To make sense of my similes,
Are these comparisons absurd?
A plot circles the pages,
Hovers close to making sense.
A red herring could be tossed,
Or a twist could be intense.
Which devices should I use
To create the most suspense?
The voice needs personality—
At least a southern drawl—
To overcome tough obstacles;
Do tensions rise and fall?
Will the reader like the pace
Or be forced to learn to crawl?
Back to the beginning
To write a better hook,
Track errors like a blood hound,
Hunting for the grammar crook.
Will the pages be perfected
And transform into a book?
After mounting the middle,
The ending sounds too bleak,
Looking for that lightning bolt
That’ll hail my work unique.
Did I calm the wave of words?
Will this survive critiques?
The challenge of the writer
With a message to impart—
Is the soul inspired
To compose a written art?
Will the words I choose today
Impress the reader’s heart?
