Time may have run out for them But Their Quills Will Never Run Dry Poets Of Days Past By Paul Wilson I miss you more than you know your words still echo in my mind How I wish you were still here if your lives we could rewind You treated me like family my first day on these pages of blue Not sure if I would fit in writing poetry…I didn’t have a clue Those lessons you gave us will always remain near and dear Feet and meter what was that I asked you explained it crystal clear I learned to write stories of my life people began to read and reply I thought I was something writing poetry…I’m so glad I gave it a try So many helped me without my asking taking time to explain things to me When I started writing poetry it opened my mind and made me feel free Many of you have passed on and left us with empty pages in our lives You had so many more poems too share with us each day I visit you in the archives Where have all the poets gone I once asked I now know their still here in my heart Living on forever thru their poetry and sharing memories with us they impart Thank you is all I can say Your poetry and memory lives on Forever and a day ~~To share my poems with you is to share my heart with you~~ Paul [This message has been edited by Sunshine (06-15-2019 09:51 PM).] |

I am glad you remember it as I do, Paul. Thank you for carrying on the fact that as in the world of virtual reality, our poets were as alive to us as if they lived next door. |

Sunshine...You are so right, even thou I never met or spoke to any of the poets here in person, I feel like I knew them like they were lifetime friends. I remember the get together a bunch of poets had in Fl. and reading about it and looking at pictures of those that were there. Sure wish I had been there. Thanks for all your help...Paul ~~To share my poems with you is to share my heart with you~~ |
