Authors Den is becoming quite aged,
by reviewing the posters from within.

Old authors are going off to who knows,
where or when, some dying to leave,
and someone wanting the way it was when.

Young writers want action and instant return,
Tick-TockIng, Instagraming and texting,
all day and night long to the throng.

Their writings are abbreviations and codewords,
hip-hop's rhymes that don't fit AD's forms.

Young authors use AI to write perfect prose,
producing without criticism their stories,
that young fans want to know.

Leaving Authors Den in the dust,
while online they seek fame and lust.

But we've all had a very good run,
knowing that we will drift off into the sun.

No site for old writers either,
when we are all gone.
