Past all Point and Purpose Here… nothing is left but the sound of weeping hours and pooling time… as negligent memories, shattered hopes, and squandered schemes, drift in aimless wander past this husk of ‘life,’ where a poet’s soul lies stifling in the dust of eroded dreams. ---b. e. adams (5/14/08) |

Yo Secondhanddreampoet, This is well written, however, it's way grim. Snap out of it poet, things will look up. Bobby |

Never to write like this and then be confined "past this husk of ‘life,’ where a poet’s soul lies stifling in the dust of eroded dreams." Stay within this life of ours and keep showing us how it is done. sharyn "God made you as you are |

The soul, naked, stripped of all pretense, just the heart and mind of the poet standing in the glaring light of truth! This is what I feel in the poem; it works for me! Art |

Hello Bruce, I like this one very much and took time reading it. It's powerful and contains a great and savage melancholy... Great work. yann |

...that phrase 'savage melancholy' rather sums up the 'life' of a poet in modern times... thank you to all who commented on this 'penning!' |
