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.
