For The Original Tom Maxwell Poem by Sylvia Frances Chan

The Prologue:
For The Original Tom Maxwell
about his constant angst that his poems might not be read after his death, a poem to peacen his doubts

The Poem:
Dear Tom, please do not weep
if you do that I cannot sleep

I just want to tell you
that your poems
you create so fervently
will be constantly up to date
so do not worry

your poems will still be read in history
century after century

this is not utopia
you have written excellent poetica
poetic gems

I assure you,
since I know that readers are always smart and pure,
they always love to read I'm sure
they never deluded
I am very sure,

The Epilogue:
so keep writing sans problem
your fascinating
poetic gem
