Fallen[16]




He had remortgaged so the play’s failure made him homeless. Over the years, he hadn’t worn well so the receptionist, once as famous as he, unknowingly handed over his medication and he left untouched by the love she had to give.
Watching them, a writer sketched out a play that was to make him famous.

    That's life in the arts for you. The difference between success and failure but a mortgage away.

    Yep, iatrogenic,now that's a word!
    Thanks for the William Blake quote, I have not read much of him, will go get a book. But found this poem so fun:
    The Labyrinth
    by Robert P. Baird

    Torn turned and tattered
    Bowed burned and battered
    I took untensed time by the teeth........
    ....Over a windcloaked nightsoaked starpoked sea
    To drop me where? Deep in a decadent’s dream.


    keep sending info and writing!
    Dianne

    I sometimes wonder what the people that i "borrow from" would think if they realized their part in my fiction? :)

    Nice 55. Also, thanks so much for the Longfellow poem in your comment on my site...I hadn't read that one before (or if I had, I had forgotten...and that's probably the more likely!).
