Many, many years ago, <br />thirty odd years in fact <br />I met a woman at a writing class. <br />We have been friends <br />ever since our meeting then. <br />It was a little while after that meeting <br />that she said to me. <br />“You know, David, <br />when we first met <br />you didn’t strike me as being an author <br />as you didn’t look like one to me.” <br />I’ve joked about it with her ever since. <br />Because what does a writer look like? <br />Is there some set format <br />in everyone’s eyes <br />of what a writer is suppose to look like? <br />If someone knows <br />could they please tell me, <br />then I’ll change my image <br />and start looking like one. <br /> <br />27 February 2008<br /><br />David Harris<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/you-don-t-look-like-an-author/
