' Lost Poems '

Only A Poet Would Understand Only A Writer Will Know… Why I Would Feel This Disheartened and Why I Can’t Shake Writer’s Woe… … I Lost 200 Poems or More Tho’ The Exact Count Doesn’t Matter Most of What I’d Written Before … is no longer gathered A Circumstantial Mishap My Family Didn’t Realize That Case… That Mildewed, was a Map Of My Flight thru Vision-Skies! Eclectic, Romantic, maybe Eccentric … also of Favorite Things and Fantasy … Kinetic, Static or Copacetic And Sojourns into Soliloquy … Only A Poet Would Understand Only A Writer Will Know Those Exact, Precise – Phrases, won’t come again … I can only end-up where they go… Lost Type-of-Line, Pencil-Points of Lead Lost Sonnets, Songs and Secrets Said Now, Instead of Ink-Blots, My Tear-Stains Spread Those Lost Words… Ripped My Throat to Shreds ! … Lost Track … Lost The Time … Lost Treasure – Can’t Find Rhyme Lost That Paper-Trail… of Where I’d Been Lost Paper-Peace –that was Marked: Amen and I’d Rather Have Lost My Money ‘Cause I Can Always Earn A Dime… Instead of My Increased Memory that Remembers This Literary Crime ! … Lost Documentation of Determination Documentation of Dreams … My Certificates of Celebrations … My Tickets To My Park-Themes: … of Snowflakes to Raindrops From Heartaches to Heartthrobs From Whispers to Declarations Of Best Friends, and Far-Vacations 200 Trains of Thought – Wrecked 200 Expose’ Sheets – Axed 200 Treatises, Throwed Away, Gone… … on Tragedies, Joys, Jokes and Moans … Yet, I Rely On God, to Resurrect The Dead: My Older-Sister, Brother, Grandma, Mom And Dad and … if its not too silly, vain or bad… Resurrect Those Words, I Wrote and I Meant to be Read… Until then… Only A Poet Would Understand And Only A Writer Would Suppose … If I Do Not Write Again What Lost Poems You’ll Never Know…

Oh but MoonBee maybe all is not lost. Maybe it was a flushing of the old to welcome the new. As to say my dear the best is yet to come. And you prove this everyday with your poetry dear friend. Do not stew over what was. Open your heart and welcome the new and improved you. Everything happens for a reason. Love, Carol

Yes I do (understand). I've lost work a couple of times and I felt the same way. Good job...Karla
