They Fade Away

They fade away Cold poems Yellowed pages Unread Old warriors Cold souls Unsheathed Blades dulled Forgotten Words Buried In tomes

So true John, when I pick up an old script or poem, I can't seem to get back the original impetus or inspiration. Maria

I like to read uld piems. Surely not all are great, after reading truly great poets, I appteciate them, nore. Just slopping down words each day makes no sense. It did years ago. Yout last lines are terrific John, Pangie

It sounds like buried treasure. I like the concise style.

It's the funniest thing to look at a poem I paused on and didn't write. There's never anything to spark a next line - the fight has definitely gone. Well written and thought provoking John

John your words metaphorically ring true. They express the feelings I think most of us feel with our earlier writes. Maybe we should re post them to bring them back to life. Thank you for sharing...
