Authors, you creators of worlds:
William Shakespeare; playwright of love, war, comedy, and tragedy.
Sir Walter Scott; author of knights, archers, and chivalry.
Jane Austen; lonely lover of romantic unlikelihood.
Oscar Wilde; decadent, Hedonist, misunderstood.
Edgar Allan Poe; troubled author, poet of lost, lovely faces.
Douglas Adams; holistic genius of strange cases.
H.G. Wells; leader in fantastic, futuristic imagining.
Ayn Rand; objectivist, atheist, architect of capitalist adventuring.
J.R.R. Tolkien; innovative weaver of the world of humans and hobbits.
Neil Gaiman; spinner of unique tales and sometimes magical misfits.
George Orwell; political satirist, down and out.
Authors, you creators of worlds,
Inspiration, ideas, and doubt.
***This is a poem that I wrote for a class. It is very close to my heart though because it talks about all the things I love about my favorite authors, as well as giving voice to my doubts about my own writing skills.
