I observe from upstairs on the bus,
The folks in the gloom and their fuss.
Beneath each London grin,
I see spirits worn thin,
Like a soul-tax that's levied on us.

3 Mistakes You Are Making In Your Novel That Are Boring Your Reader
The last thing you want a reader to be when experiencing the world of your novel is to be bored to tears. This leads to them either returning your book for their money back, placing it on the shelf never being touched again, or it being donated so that maybe someone else will find enjoyment in it.
