Caltrops - Cabaret Voltron





	[quote name="Nirk Firkle"][quote name="Ray, of Light"]I liked this story, a lot. I have nothing to add, but saw lesser efforts receiving replies and took it upon myself to right that wrong.[/quote] Poets should read the great poets. They are better than you and you know it. Then you think "why do I ever write?" "Why should my crappy stuff see the light?" Because no one but poets read poetry And so much great poetry is unread. So you put down your pen for a book You forget all the trouble you took, or resent it, what's worse, and you swear that your soul is too mean to lay bare. Unlike Lawrence or Eliot or Cummings. So you don't write at all, you consume. But while maids burnt grand verses unnumbered While great novels met death torn asunder Sometimes good luck comes to the ungifted And praise falls and your soul is uplifted And that's all it takes to go on The promise of providence The song of the fortunate.[/quote]
