a book engages more than the mind
if you do it right
3,000 scholars and experts will comb it to find
all the meaning from the binding to the margins
till it bleeds heartache and wisdom and laughs
as authors argue over articles and facts
authenticators calculate the times and places
reviewers justify, clarify the pace
consultants advise and diagnose the dose of prose to give you
If you write, do it right
All of this for one little poem?
Yes, and worth every single effort.
I enjoyed this.
3,000 scholars and experts will comb it to find
all the meaning from the binding to the margins
Isn’t that the way of it? Great lines!
