If i were a good writer of many things I'd write <br />And on mysterious stories i could help to shed some light <br />But i am not that clever though i try the best i can <br />Do for to meet the standard of a true poetic man <br />I send my verses to Willy Chaplin he puts them on his Dreamagic Site <br />One of thousands of amateur writers all not equal in the literary critics sight <br />For every successful writer so many doomed to fail <br />So many have their rejected manuscripts returned to them by mail <br />And yet they keep on writing they never do despair <br />Of knowing of recognition in the bigger World out there <br />And so few for their writing can hope for to get paid <br />And some say good writers are born that way and they cannot be made, <br />Many retain the unfulfilled dreams they had as girl or boy <br />And if i were a good writer success i would enjoy.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/if-i-were-a-good-writer/
