Even Slow Readers Can Be Writers
To read a book like chewing steak
seems really rather slow.
To read a page, and need a break
seems something, that can't grow.

"To be a writer, you must read
so many books anon
."
To throw up hands from hearts, that bleed
leaves hopeful not a one.

For All the Light We Cannot See
was read in six-week's time.
Why say, that those, who read like me
can never writing climb?

That some eat jerky on the trail
long chewing as they go.
They find their way o'er hill and dale,
while smaller bites they know.

Still others eat a drive-through meal,
while rarely finding breaks.
They love the scenery's appeal,
that faster driving makes.

But all can know the author's mind
in many bookish ways.
Some scan the words, 'til they're half-blind.
Some listen much for days.

The point is "Learn the author's heart
in ev'ry way you can.
"
For when a book would cause you start
at least you'll have a plan.
