There is an old saying in sport
you are only as good as your last...
game but in thoughts literature
you are as good as your best;
writer poet novelist is as good as best
writing aspired to this is the touchstone,
the benchmark the height set bar attained
in literature the writer the poet the novelist;
may be remembered for just one short
story novella novel poem drama all else,
may become secondary to 'The old Man
and the Sea' just one piece remembered;
above all else this is our summit Everest
our Noble Prize all else becomes lost...
