Death of a Famed Poet

A poet has died and the people mourn Well some of the people All poets should realize that there is a large block of people who never read poems And as for all of you out there who are published there will be those who do not love your work The death of a poet makes all of the thousands of poets out there in the darkness who write poems feel the winds of mortality blowing

Leaving lasting words of wisdom behind for our loved ones and friends is all we should be focusing on, as writers. Being a poet is not all about being the best.... I really like the wise message that you are sending here, Matthew. Great work!

yes, this is especially true lately at Soup with recent deaths here. I really enjoyed this one. To answer your questions. I did not vote at all in the last election. This is a republican state and because of the damn electoral college, my vote for anyone not democrat is wasted here. I really wish elections were based on popular elections. Like in many other countries. AS for swing dancing in CA. that sounds fun. I enjoyed square dance in the fifth grade and we always did shows for our parents.
