Between the Lines


Analysis is inference, and therein lies the difference, 'tween what I write and what you read Amidst unknowing ignorance. To understand an author's work You must follow the way they came. But what you'll find, and what I've felt can never be the same. The hounds of tracking may offer aid in following where one goes for one must track by scent, by nose for trails of sight are lost in storms and snows.

I love the lines "To understand an author's work/You must follow the way they came" because it is so true that an author's background affects the words they write, and how we have to read between the lines to find out what a writer really feels. Great poem- definitely keep writing, and check out "poetry writing tips" in the "resources" section!
