Future of Our Great Poetry

I am going to be needing a new poet to replace me
I would like to live with the world for eternity
the next couple of decades I will be very interested in
hearing more from the future of poetry
can she get the best possible guidance
are you going to have a wobbly new writer
I have to leave a new version of me
or something like it, would be a great loss for our critics
the world of words, would be only a great memory
this is not the intended future of our cities
are you be willing to give out the skills, they are needing
and in the interests of the next few, that are under skilled
let us all plan for the future and encourage them with the highs
so that our great poetry industry will continue to survive

James Marshall Goff Date: 8/11/2016 7:12:00 AM agreed Denise!....to teach poetry....I would bring the student to a flower garden.....what do you see? how do you connect this life/flora/fauna...to yourself & the universe? why is it magical? is it magical? why not? what around you....politics/social unrest....disturbs your vision? from there we can begin to put it in words that best express these feelings....quality will be reflected in poems that shake people (Pablo Neruda) jimbo Login to Reply

Stephen Pennell Date: 8/11/2016 3:51:00 AM like poems with a message and this poem does support your fellow poets Login to Reply D.A Hopkins Date: 8/11/2016 6:44:00 AM yes I am a very big fan of the message of my work. I have no problem with leaving my respect to the human race I have to be a part of the family. I am trying to find out what to do with the undergraduate and the other side of the next breed of poets

CayCay Jennings Date: 8/11/2016 12:16:00 AM I wasn't clear where it took me, but was drawn to read it again, then again and there is a beauty, draw and unique message. Your keyboard got you on the 4th line up from the bottom and I think that tripped me, but I enjoyed your poem very much, there's a good substance and core to this ...

I have tried to get a clear picture of the message so I am benefiting from your comments. I have written this on my phone which has been difficult but it is a problem with poetry. when you are getting it it just arrives.

D.A Hopkins Date: 8/11/2016 12:09:00 AM Love you to make a small comment on this topic. I am trying to find out who is working with the future poets and I am trying to encourage you to make sure you have a try some time in your writing years to get to know that you have a great deal of heart invested in a future writer. I am very interested in hearing about your experience and the thought process. Login to Reply
