Write about what you know
My Muse said to me
In the Athen’s library
When imagination shaped my
Golden Age of writing and
Painting.
Indeed.
Even when writing fiction
You’ll need knowledge about
A theme you’ll tackle.
Research. Research.
So I thought writing about
The person I knew best
Would be easy.
WRONG.
Besides. I write and get on
With it.
At some time the story will
Develop. Now –
With a portrait or an attempt
For a personality depiction
My approach would be
To stay at ease.
Write first down the scenes
That are most lively in my
Mind. No plan. Go as it comes.
It’ll never be that objective
But then I’ve lived with my
Spouse for 51 years
And do I know her?
