The Lost Poem

The Lost Poem 

This is dedicated to a quickly lost poem.
Its opening line for a second known.
No more than a furtive verse buried away.
Maybe my heart will return it someday.

Curtis Johnson Date: 7/22/2017 10:20:00 AM Janis. Congrats on your placement. This is so powerful; and I relate to it so well. Our ability to recall inspiration that we somehow fell to capture on the printed page seems to be ever so powerless. I suppose that is part of the beauty of poetry-it 'demands' our immediate attention or it becomes a vapor blown into the wind. Blessings my friend.

Thanks and blessings, Janis.

Ironic Zink Date: 6/28/2017 6:32:00 AM Nice write. Textbook wording and superb storyline. This could be like a model poem for students of poetry. I'm making things up instead of just saying great job...good days to you Login to Reply Janis Medders Tobechi Date: 6/28/2017 7:08:00 PM Thanks, Ironic.

Joanna Daniel Date: 6/14/2017 7:06:00 AM I love this, Janis, awesome write, a fave:) glad your loss inspired you to write this beauty:) Login to Reply Janis Medders Tobechi Date: 6/14/2017 9:30:00 PM Thanks and blessings Jo. Old age can be inspirational.

Hannah Borke Date: 6/12/2017 7:41:00 AM I can't help but wonder if you saw my poem of yesterday and it inspired your poem of today Login to Reply Hannah Borke Date: 6/12/2017 1:22:00 PM The reason I inquired is -- since so far I'm unable to write a quality poem, it's at least nice to be the inspiration of one. Now I know it's a coincidence. Janis Medders Tobechi Date: 6/12/2017 12:54:00 PM Wonder know more/ I haven't seen your poem. I will check it out now though. This is a fairly common occurrence with writing.

Lin Lane Date: 6/12/2017 6:29:00 AM Such is the bane of a poet without pen and paper. On the positive side, that loss has led you to write this one. Nicely done, Janis. Login to Reply
