Our Best Game Literary Played Poem by Terence George Craddock

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...
