Verses of dust

I mold each day a poem of clay some crumble some stay strong

Some time paints others mold taints each carries their own song

From days mud feelings flood shaped by imagination's hand

Baked from earth's crust most turn to dust the rest into sand

I count myself lucky that a couple of my poems have been read aloud at a few funerals, not that I wish death in anybody so that my poems be seen:)
Many on here will relate to your words.
Hope you are well Soren.

do you ever wonder where it comes from, Soren?
What or who drives our pen...how are we the lucky ones with pens that create?
I sure do...because I don't think I really write anything I write...I feel almost as a plagiarist stealing
every poem I pen from somewhere other than me.

I'm afraid literary glory is not in the cards for most of us. Write for the satisfaction of doing good work or lightening another's load.

[Soren]

Thanks John it is not in the fame but in the influence on others that I would hope to find some solace. If just one reader is touched by just one poem it is enough

[Arundass TP]

A powerful poem. For every poet your lines are true. Excellent writing

[Soren]

Thank you so much my friend for your most kind words of support

Hello, Soren! Welcome to the Cafe! If I may suggest one thing, it would be to shorten your lines, giving your poem a more vertical appearance. Sometimes those breaks can really give your poem more of an impact.

[Soren]

Thanks for the advice. I have been here for years appreciate the greeting though.

Most of us .. in the end, end up much the same way .. as does most of the ink we spill or shed along the way .. Neville 👍

I really don't mind at all that my poems are forgotten, I assume that all will be in that I forget them myself, what is important is that someone reads them because if they leave some effect that is more than enough. Thanks so much Neville for the read and comment
