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.”

"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.
