Juli- Michelle Poet Rhyme

Lost In Transit

Poems lost in transit
That I forgot to save;
It feels just like a memory
That was taken away.

Thoughts and lines once thought of
But never written down,
Fade into lost history...
Fade into the ground,

And I am left with nothing,
No key to pull them out.
If I don't save them when they come
The seed will never sprout.

Poems lost in transit,
Memories just washing astray,
Words that were once worth writing;
Dark, and fading away.

Frederic Parker September 19, 2014 at 1:47 PM to take a fleeting moment and hold on until it forms is universal to all poets, it's hard to do..to write about this process is called truth..we've all lost thoughts that come like string as it unwinds, only to find it breaks and disappears ...nice poem..these were my first thoughts after reading your poem

Chuck Melugin September 18, 2014 at 8:21 PM Yes Juli, Well written truth! You are an amazing poetess! 7 Chuck

Maurice Yvonne September 17, 2014 at 4:14 PM Wow, dead on. I can't tell you how often that has happened to me. Lucky you didn't lose this gem. A full 7.

Tim Smith September 16, 2014 at 8:04 PM I hate when that happens...I try to send emails to myself on thoughts and lines...I have lost a few that I didn't save...hugs Tim

Casarah Nance September 16, 2014 at 8:21 AM I know how that is, now I always keep a pen and paper handy. I have a poem title "where is my pen" that is a humorous approach to this subject. It does seem so many thoughts get lost in transit, thanks for getting these out there :)
