How short The long-lived word Does live in this Domain It’s very soul Flies like a bird To places it will remain To lie in Dusty solitude Perhaps be read again But most will die In digital bites Locked in archive’s chain |

I spend most of my evenings in the archives, as this is where the greatest treasures are kept safe. Nicely done. ~*~ Tell someone you love them today, as tomorrow may never come ~*~ |

Yep, the poems wiz by. The best we can hope for is to print them out, save them and read for later. With our own work, hopefull we stop to print them out, save them for that body of work we'll all someday do. Well said. Corinne |

so very well-written with a touch of melancholy for that which passes this way and that |

Ok I hope you don't mind me pointing this out, "The long-lived word Does live in this Domain" In a short poem as this and especially in lines following each other the word "live" is over used. It would add a little extra flavour if you changed the second "live" to something like breath or something else. Other than this tiny thing, a great poem. enjoyed this alot and reminds me that I should look through my own library at some stage. "Build a man a fire, he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire and he'll be warm for the rest of his life". Terry Pratchett |

Good point Brian.. This one just popped into my head and I didn't really edit it as I should have, and was posted on an impulse...to comment on the way this and all boards change content so quickly, and that such good works pass the eyes of this reader that I thought it a shame very few would be read again or at least shared across as broad an audience as they deserve. I too dislike overused words... and appreciate your pointing it out... |
