Always Save!

an epistolary cautionary tale

By E.K. DanielsPublished 4 years ago • 1 min read

Dear Poet,

I'm writing to you with a heavy heart,

For I heard the news and it tore me apart.

I see you forgot to save your poetry,

And now it's lost - a travesty!

*

I know it's hard to keep track of things,

Especially when the muse spreads her wings.

But to not save your work is a big mistake,

Like trying without flour to bake a cake.

*

So let this be a lesson, my dear friend,

To always save your poetry until the very end.

Don't let it slip away into the digital abyss,

Or you'll be left with nothing but to reminisce.

*

But fear not, my poet, for all is not lost,

You can start again, free of cost.

Take a deep breath, and let your pen flow,

And before you know it, the muse will bestow.

*

So don't be too hard on yourself,

We all make mistakes,

But remember save each draft to

save yourself heartache!

With a smile and a laugh,

This letter I send,

I bid you adieu,

Always save!

~Your friend.
