Reader Betsy Blondin posted a poem she wrote to the Robert McCammon Group on Facebook. Mr. McCammon enjoyed it and asked that I post it here, too.
Poem for RM – Unworthy Invasion
If I could shrink to the miniscule, invisible,
and sneak up a ladder
to your brainI would crawl in and through,
dodging thought storms
and idea explosionsI would sniff for the lairs
of demons and monsters
ready to pounce into wordsI would seek the path to the Imagi Nation
where creatures and characters lurk
waiting to frighten or fascinate meI would sneak in to ringside
to watch in horror
the war of good v evilI would stalk the gruesome and macabre
but also the human insights, love, joy and compassion
that breathe in your storiesI would explore every crevice
for the creative sparks
that ignite your magicThen, exhausted, I would realize
that to discover these secretsI must climb back down the ladder
and find your soul
–Betsy Blondin, December 2021
