Perpetual Poems

A poem is never merely still born,
It has its creator's eyes,ears and nose
Yet,unique it lives  a life of its own
Independent,well able to stand alone;
On others it can,influence,affect
Energise,direct or initiate
A response,unforseen and immediate
Or lie dormant,yet not dead,but waiting;
Watered by another's mutual bond
resurrected,to live again,again.

Yes, a poem once written that gets attention by being read over the years teaches, inspires, and touches the lives of many...Keep the creative pen flowing...Sara

Well said. Have you noticed they don't always live the same life either, a new reader often brings a new interpretation of the poem, that is sometimes as interesting as the poem itself
