Poems, articles, stories or books,
we don't judge their quality by looks.
But the quality of their writing skill,
not by the pathetic, pithyless shrill.

Crazies, naturalists, explorers, freaks,
from the pen of characters ink leaks.
On to electronic pages with cyber links,
enlightening the reader with hijinks.

Whatever your political point of view,
you'll find your bubble burst a time or two.
Court jesters are here for you to amuse,
so don't dwell very long with the blues.

Some hide in the shadows, dark,
some with heart on our sleeve lark.
some writing like a stroll in the park,
some struggle each word's arc.

So, whatever your druthers,
or whatever your spark,
there's a place in the den,
where you can literarily park.

From a member of the den,
since who knows when,
till death do us part,
comes to an end.
