Be it Resolved

Mr. Bradbury’s Advice


What’s the secret, he was asked,
to being a successful writer?

Write it down,
write it down,
write it down,
for they’re soon forgotten,
those thoughts, ideas, words.

Do it early,
do it early
do it early,
in the morning if it fits you,
feel satisfied and smug by noon.

And remember,
yes remember,
please remember,
never watch
the eleven o’clock news.
