How’s your Dorian Gray.

Living in the sun
amongst shadows past
a thought came to me
that every poem
with its picture
has its own
Dorian Gray.

the poem's never really age.
the poets grow old and die...
Would be interesting if it were the other way around...like in that story.
Wilde wouldn't be so Wild anymore.

Once poems are read unless they are famous, they disappear or are hidden from view never to be seen again or reviewed I find from all my poems back 5 years ago hence the Dorian Gray theme. They age in their hidden domain.

Living in shadows past can be a harrowing experience. For past pain can make us feel inwardly as ugly as Dorian's portrait.

Thank you for your words John and merry Christmas to you and yours, be safe.
