Author's Note

Author's Note
A Poem
by marble.joy

Before you read
And before you lead,
There will always be another note,
Not about a boat,
But an author's note.

It's there for a reason,
So get with the season.
Because the words you see,
Aren't free.

You don't have to pay,
And you don't have to say.
But the author's note is important,
Brilliant,
And sometimes instant.

But beware,
For they might take the scare,
Out of the book,
Before you get hooked.
