Day 3 Prompt: Write a poem in which a profession or vocation is described differently than it typically is.
femme de lettres
Try as she might,
her search for truth required proof.
But she fought the good fight
to tell the world her story as truth.
The byline, the fame and
popular wealth was
the name of the game,
but she stood for a better cause.
Her life, not only to write.
But to make the world a better place.
She obsessed both day and night
to better all souls in the humanity race.
Then one day she just walked away,
but she never shed what was in her head.
To keep still and quiet and see that world
through the eyes of a journalist turned poet.
Look both ways and look closely.
Mind the gaps for a story behind the story of relative truth.
Our Literary Journey 
Being a good journalist – one who actually shares the truth – is no easy task!
Nicely done, Monsieur.

Ah mon cher ami,
You know I can wax poetic en français – maybe not quite as well as in English – or rather, it takes more effort!

Just because I am kind does mean that I am not telling the truth.

We do not always need to be the best at something, but we often need to be the doer of something. 🙂
