Story Writers Sonnet

Within there lies the tale that I must tell
With voice, with mood, with action, love and hate
Convey within the passion - weave a spell
And hope I'm blessed the chance to cast my bait.
And if chance puts small comfort at my feet
and lifts my hope and shows my vision, smile!
Each line, each word in print - a special treat
A POW! to charge my efforts for a while.
What loot for writing is the goal I seek?
Tales of fortune quickly seem like fable
Instead I write to exorcise the weak
to put with bread; wine upon my table.
Seek the finest words and reach for glory.
Enchant the world! Seize you with my story!
