The Bone Yard of Poetry I opened up a file where bones And intermittent sighs and moans, Announced the resting place of all Unfinished poems and sent a call To take them out and then complete Every one, a major feat! I decided that I would try. Many were poor and made me cry, But others seemed to have some merit. I picked one out so I could share it. I read it over and despaired That it could ever be repaired! I thought about it day and night. It never sounded just quite right. I read it to a neighbor, who, Laughed so hard her face turned blue! So to protect the population, I will refrain from publication!

Boy! Can I relate to this. I have some that are so bad that I quickly destroyed them so if I died, no one would ever find them. So glad you shared all of the good ones with us! (I can't imagine a bad one from you) love, Barb |

Cheechako: Thanks for your response! I'll bet there are hundreds of poets who have a "boneyard of poetry". We seldom talk about it though! Welcome to the site, as I see this is your first post. Thanks for making it one of mine!! Will watch for yours. Betty Lou Betty Lou Hebert |
