Sinfonia # 1
By NeroMatches
And the angel said to the poet:
“They’ll love you not for who you are
They’ll love you for your art,
They need only the things you say
They will never need your heart;
Aye, dear poet, your life’s but
A wretched work of woe
They’ll love you only when you’re dead,
Or when you’re dying from all their sorrow.”

Genuine, a rarity to be sure. Beautiful, in all of its sorrowful complexions of the truth.

"And the angel said to the poet" a simple way to start a poem, but for me, it gave a setting, characters, beautiful landscapes. Write on.
