Advice For New Writers
Learn well the rules of thy game,
but know when and how
to break them.
Be thou a lion untame;
be king...never bow
before them.
Cast off candles void of flame.
Thy light, on the prow
shall guide them.
Wisdom, ‘fore fortune and fame:
a fat golden cow
won’t save them.
Unearth gifts buried in shame
and seal with thy vow
to hone them.
Who but thee thy thoughts can claim?
Who thy words endow?
So write them.
