I'M The Writer Of That Book Poem by BRUCE MARTONE

I WRITE WITH A SMALL CANDLE ON MY DESK
WITH MY FEATHER PEN DIPPING IN THE INK
GETTING MY WORDS AND THOUGHTS TOGETHER
SO YOU WOULD READ IT
UNDER YOUR READING LIGHT
BEFORE YOU CALL IT A NIGHT,
AS I HOPE TO FINISHED IT IN TIME
TO MAKE THE N.Y. TIMES BEST SELLING LIST'S
BUT SOME CRITICS SAY I DON'T WRITE BOLD
I DON'T PUT ENOUGH FEELING IN MY WRITING
BUT WHAT THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND
IT'S MY BOOK BEING SOLD
YOUNG PEOPLE CAN'T PUT IT DOWN
WHILE OTHERS BUY IT CARRYING IT AROUND
AND YES I'M THE WRITER OF THAT BOOK
PROUD TO SIGN IT IF YOU WANT ME TO
AS I WRITE FROM MY HEART, I WRITE FROM MY THOUGHTS
AND I WRITE FROM MY DREAMS BEFORE I CALL IT A NIGHT, AND SOMETIMES MY WORDS DON'T COME OUT RIGHT
THAT'S WHEN I BLOW OUT THE CANDLE LIGHT
AND CALL IT A NIGHT, BUT WHEN THE SUN GOES DOWN
AND THE NIGHT COME AGAIN
MY PEN ALREADY DIPPING IN THE INK
READY TO WRITE KEEPING YOU GUESSING
THROUGH THE END
BECAUSE I'M AM THE WRITER OF THAT BOOK.
