Le Mot Juste
5 December, 2010
Author: Shiloh
A poet will search throughout his lifetime
for that one phrase,
that one word,
"le mot juste," if you will...
But he hopes he never finds it,
because if he does,
then that would be the end of any reason to write.
Once that word is found and written down,
there is no longer any reason to write anything more...
it will have been done.
