Notes About The Poem

Written - 26th July 2025

Poems unread

 Obscure poems that stay unread
Words that’re spun in a poet’s head
Never been seen floating away
Seeking poetic light of day.

Words akin to the tumbling rain
Surge in, reciting sweet refrain
Whence the night is dark and timeless
In an abiding quietness.

Poems no one has ever heard
The solitude of silent words
Whispers journeying off somewhere
Celestial as silent prayer.

As stars saturate sky at night
Moon glowing for earthlings delight
Scene set for poetic release
In dreamland playing hide-and-seek.

I Am Anaya Date: 8/16/2025 9:17:00 PM Beryl you have such a beautiful and creative mind. This is sad but true, we should take the time and shed light on earlier poems. There are limitless poems in every shape and form on this site, I'm making time!

Crystol Woods Date: 8/4/2025 7:52:00 AM Delightful thoughts! Such a sad theme made magical with your words. It does make me sad to think of all the amazing poetry that is never seen or considered, never touching another as poetry is meant to do. I wish I had time to read it all!

John Read Date: 8/3/2025 8:51:00 AM Hi sister Beryl I'm sure all poem's are read it's just those who read them can't be bothered to leave a comment.

Mystic Rose Rose Date: 8/2/2025 12:37:00 PM I agree in dreamland many things surface that we don't allow during the day. Such a beautiful way of saying it dear Beryl. :) Login to Reply Beryl Edmonds Date: 8/2/2025 4:30:00 PM Thank you so much dear Rose, I find I dream what’s playing on my mind., the good and the bad… Beryl :)

Susan Ashley Date: 8/2/2025 9:24:00 AM Dear Beryl, your poem is sadly beautiful in the expression of your emotions about unread poems. Especially striking to me was "The solitude of silent words/Whispers journeying off somewhere/Celestial as silent prayer." -wow! Writing poetry can be a bittersweet experience. I feel your soulful words through your smooth poetic finesse. Warmest wishes, my poet friend.. ~Susan Login to Reply Beryl Edmonds Date: 8/2/2025 4:26:00 PM Thank you very much dear Susan, your words touch my heart. Warm wishes in return to you… Beryl

Jennifer Proxenos Date: 8/2/2025 12:21:00 AM An awesome topic to write about and which happens to all of us at times. Just different strokes for different folks, our taste for a particular write might not appeal to to some, yet to others it will. The heading has a lot to do with it also. Nevertheless, I READ IT SEVERAL TIMES, AS IT IS SO APT. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer. Login to Reply Beryl Edmonds Date: 8/2/2025 4:24:00 PM Thank you Jennifer, it really doesn’t matter if a poem doesn’t get read, just having it out there is satisfying, and you never know, someone, someday may read what one’s poem has to say… Hugs and blessings returned… Beryl

Paula Goldsmith Date: 7/31/2025 2:30:00 PM A powerful write. I enjoyed reading this write. All poems should be read but are not. All poems should have comments on them but they do not. So many great writers here. Guess time is to blame. Please do Not blame the wonderful writers. Have a blessed/lovely day writing away......... Login to Reply Beryl Edmonds Date: 7/31/2025 4:22:00 PM I don’t blame the writers Paula, we take a chance that our poems get read, some do and some don’t, that’s the name of the game. Thank you … Beryl

Victor Buhagiar Date: 7/31/2025 3:45:00 AM You are right in a way. Yet there are poets who never reciprocate a comment. What can one do? Login to Reply Beryl Edmonds Date: 7/31/2025 9:43:00 AM There’s nothing one can do Victor, just hope for the best, that our poems get read, comments or not … Thank you… Beryl

Daniel Henry Rodgers Date: 7/28/2025 5:27:00 AM Dear Beryl, I think that you've captured the quiet pain and wonder of being a poet so beautifully and the hope that our hidden words might one day find a reader, a heart, or simply peace in dreamland. Loved It! Summer Blessings, Dear Beryl, Daniel Login to Reply Beryl Edmonds Date: 7/28/2025 9:48:00 AM Thank you Dear Daniel, it’s always hoped that our poems get read by someone out there, if not, never mind that’s how it is, one has to accept it. Summer blessings in return to you… Beryl
