Notes About The Poem

This Road We Venture

The writer, the reader, and the writing. 
The lines that divide them are marginal.
A symbiotic relationship built upon words.
An author blazes a trail hewn from letters.
Traveled by the readers, great and few.
To each find themselves at the same end.
This road we venture alone and yet together.

Bette Bavington July 8, 2017 at 10:18 PM I learned nobody sees things the same as another person even though they travel the same road. It is very good. Jesse Zerlaut July 10, 2017 at 12:30 AM thank you, Bette. Seems we've all come to the same realizations.

Each one goes down the same road but often see's very different sights. :o) Thanks for sharing with all of us on the soup. oldbuck Jesse Zerlaut July 8, 2017 at 9:19 PM indeed, two people can read the same thing and have different views. I love that about writings.. especially poetry.
