In the Beginning
Before writing
is published,
it is raw rhubarb,
sour to the senses.
Editing
is much easier now
than during the
quill and inkwell days,
But editing is still
more chore than treat.
There will always be a better
word to be found,
a more precise
image,
a sweeter
sound of rhyme.
I suppose God
wishes our
useless appendix
was so easily remedied.
But then, that work
took a mere seven days.
