admiration

reread
again and again
tattered pages--
bedside favorites--
seeking inspiration…
words with power,
only borrowing ideas
rewritten somehow better?
stealing is forbidden!
matter of honesty…
sharing beauty,
reciprocated admiration,
best, their favorites list
authors all share others' success…
our fear:
will they admire
me?
admire they will!
fear our success
others share
all authors list favorites,
their best admiration,
reciprocated beauty,
sharing honesty of matter…
forbidden is stealing!
better somehow rewritten?
ideas borrowing only power…
with words, inspiration seeking
favorites' bedside pages
tattered again and again
reread
