Siren Alluring Hook First Lines Poem by Terence George Craddock

power of first lines
is often lost in depths
of completed works

but we who create
remember first lines
celebrate first lines

as points of origin
which gift sparked
final versions time

contemplation
completed
sealed

beware deadly allusive
taunting hook catching
power of bait first lines

rare mythical magical
free eureka out of the ether
exceptional first lines
