This evokes feelings of nostalgia, or of poetry being lost by, well, everything, time! Perhaps it'll only be carried by words one day!

Lots of meaning to ponder over here. Poems left unheralded in newsprint, but alive + inflammatory in other spheres. Another fine posting Maureen. Be well. Brian

Better than "Poetic Lascivious" for which they set the writer on fire.
