{In response to @eve_mcintosh7 poetry book, the chapter titled novels}
you created a world
a world so divine
some people think
its a way of life
your novels
are something
nobody can replace
they're poetry
and they're rhyme
and they're even
all over the place (in a good way)
you created this world
out of pencil and clay
you think we don't visit
but you're wrong, alright?
we think about it all night
like I am doing today
we read and reread
for King Gaius to arise
your words are something special
they're not for this little site
they're for the offices
and the ink and the paper
they're for the release parties
and the Instagram pictures
your words are for readers
but we're just your betas
your words will go far
in a way you don't think
your words will get published
your words will go far
your words will become pictures, far imaginable now
but your words will sink into our skin
like it did mine
your words will make us cry
your words will make us laugh
your words have made us
your words will continue to make us
your words are pictures
deep secrets of you
