In A Literary World Poem by Francis Duggan

In a literary World of millions of writers the great writers few
That is common knowledge not anything new
A minority indeed the literary millionaire
Such people were and are and will always be rare
Though many sad for them will not make the grade
It does need all of it's writers the great wordsmith trade
Like everything in life every writer cannot win
But to try and to fail it is never a sin
Many have been writing for years without any success for it to show
And from publishers rejections of disappointments they do know
Yet they carry on writing in hope of literary success
In the face of failure for their determination they never fail to impress
For to earn one's fame and fortune the wordsmith trade is a tough trade indeed
Where so many must fail for a few to succeed.
