So true, Joe, all these tracks of poetry written by these "forgotten scribes". Mades me wonder why they were unsigned...might be one of numerous reasons. This feels like a short dedication to these lost, but never forgotten, poets! Best wishes, Love, Mikki

Oh, say, how did I miss this little gem? I find it thought provoking .By the way, which poem was it I'd read which you asked me if I had realized the word play? I just can't remember what I've read from one day to the next. haha! Luv Andrea

Deep and quite moving, Joe. It sounds much like Emily Dickinson's life, but at least she gained fame after her death. Love, Carolyn

There have been and so many "forgotten scribes" out there. Did you mean reenacts your verse again?

a short sample of pablo neruda's poem... he is a nobel prize winner drom chile, enjoy!! Tell me, is the rose naked or is that her only dress? Why do trees conceal the splendor of their roots? Who hears the regrets of the thieving automobile? Is there anything in the world sadder than a train standing in the rain?
