Like small choice
—but voice
when it comes to speaking,
a song is much more than
amplified squeaking,
or Auto-tuned vocal,
better for tweaking,
talent is needed
& learned application
else everyone’d be
a singing sensation!
The same goes for paintbrush
you can’t rush to claim
—the title of master
it comes with your name,
that barring disaster
backs up your game,
a seasonal task
2 showings a day
with 2 wines
and cheese plates
in pleasing array…
Like master
—a maestro
is one who knows music,
who waves magic wand
with innate intuit,
decades of learning
is method to do it,
while peer recognition
is also conduit,
you can’t go by maestro
unless you can prove it…
And what about authors
–a little known fact
it’s short for “authority”
implying that
the writer in question
is more than a person,
gifted with speech
keyboard, and cursor,
with Internet reach
and hours to surf it,
so until one is willing
to study the classics
—to read—
and to write
and consider basics,
for a lifetime
or longer until you need Lasik,
the title of author
is just too inflated.

That’s some wise words Karen…
thanks, Praveen.
Words from the author. The authority on her books. The master of humour and word associated funnyisms
do not, I repeat, do not use the word “funnnyism” unless you have a degree…
a degree of humor!!
good one, ALL STAR…:)
Sorry 😉
I don’t think I’ve mastered being me yet…
I think that maybe comes a second before we kick. An “ah-hah, I got it!” moment, and then…eeeggghhh…
Kinda like when you are eating Haagen Daz, and right before the very last bite, you realize just how good it was…
Part of the fun…the mystery of self…
