You Have No Voice; It's Author's Choice Poem by Frank James Ryan Jr...fjr

You cannot have a voice
It's always the Author's choice
The consonants and vowels
All conjured from the bowels
Of the naked Third-Eye
Imaginations black dye

You cannot have a voice
In another Author's choice
The style and the theme
Be it true-life, fiction, dream
From the Author's literary womb
And all it breathes, spews, consumes


You haven't any Voice
You however, may critique
If you want, make your noise
Some critiques are quite unique
Just beware, should yours be seen
By an Author vexed and mean

You might be HIS next review
Beat your work black & blue!
