Notes About The Poem

A Poems Gift

There is so much beauty lost
          by just being ignored

     If only I might take a second look

     The most remarkable poem
          could be revealed

Very good Charlie. Time is what we often ignore. We fail to linger, to hear, to see, to touch. Your five lines are most inspirational.

Heck yes, Charlie - from the rawest allure to the most refined elegance, there is always beauty to behold around us, even if initially hidden, to be revealed with patient contemplation (perhaps). : )

That bright moment of clarity, is the Holy Grail for poets, Charlie. You expressed it so well ... that shining moment of epiphany is what we poets live for. That spiritual gift can sustain us (our creativity) for such an immeasurable length of time. A gem of a poem this is, my friend. Love always.

So true my friend, Charlie! Many times we overlook profound poems because we do not take the necessary time to look into their hidden meaning. Once it is done, we are pleasantly surprised, as now!

Well said. I do believe beauty needs an audience, and that's what poets are for. (and poems on poetry are some of my favourite poems)

That is so true Charlie, so very true. There are so many gems shining around this place that seem to go unnoticed. Nicely done. I hope I got your meaning right.

So many times we ignore what we're seeing and miss the opportunity to be blessed by its beauty. My thoughts were about others, but the same idea could apply to anything. Thanks Chris...
