Lost Poets

Lost Poets

They are given a creative gift.
Able to see the world in a special way.
Explaining it in poetic form

When they pass
Whether known or unknown
What new poetic creations will never be written?
What wonderful poems could have been?
Missing their poems as much as them





Dedicated to the Deceased Poets of PoetrySoup

Dear Warren, your tribute to the deceased poets of Poetry Soup is truly touching. Your questions are poignant and your last line is tenderly expressed for a moving finale. Their poetic legacy lives on through their own poems and through beautiful poems like "Lost Poets". Warmest wishes.. ~Susan

The big question...where do all the poets go, and what great poetry are we missing? Kind of like musicians when they leave this world too soon. Imagine all the great music that could have been! Nice write, Warren. Charlie
