What of all book cover artists’ work that goes unloved?
Forever never entertained must best left be unjudged The purpose for its being shamed as separate from the text From the soul it seeks to capture in the image it reflects To never represent the thing it strives to the world reveal To never shed a light on if its contents will appeal Design decisions made to offer insight to the prize Awaits prospective readers if their reading does arise A judgement must be made before extracting from the shelf An insight that the target matches somewhat to the self A choice of other covers makes selecting one unique As the first amongst the reasons that this book the one to seek A first impression pressing for a need to interact With the contents kept within for which the cover does attract An impression that can change as with the turning of the page Needing not to last beyond the choice with to engage Give to covers purpose by accepting of their sway Meaning given, granted through engaging what they say That the judgement of the cover should not bleed into the book Does not preclude the information granted by the look
