Analysis of Everyone's An Author
Everyone's an author writing a true-life tome.
Sometimes it's a novel,
sometimes it's a poem.
Stories may be thrillers with chilling mystery.
Many are narratives,
many history.
Figurative symbols are used as parables.
Some may be didactic,
some may be fables.
Legendary journeys render a global trot.
Treks provide a climax,
treks provide a plot.
Anecdotal records are ledgers of our walk.
Entries are divulgence,
entries purvey talk.
Scripts have scenarios acted-out everyday.
Each tale is a drama,
each is a stage-play.
Everyone's an author with a personal book.
Published by behavior,
read by all who look.
