A Poem Is A Little Death Laid Aside

A poem is a little death
Put into words.
A little frozen feeling.
A lifeless stone:

A Fragment broken
From a laughing rock
And laid aside.

  3. A poem is a little morgue
    for time elapsed
    kept immortal
    with a read by another.

    A poem is a chunk of truth
    hidden in a nicely woven words
    perhaps
    the transparent coffin of a soul


    ps. sorry for the deletion, I made a mistake, so here I am posting it back without that particular mistake.

  4. I used to write poetry together with another person, stanza or a sentence one person, and then another.
    So you know, what someone writes in a poem inspires me sometimes, and I continue with the thought.

    I am missing that kind of interraction.

    see you!

  5. Very concise and well put...I would rather like "A poem is a little Life put aside" For after all words should never be destroyed, they should live forever

  6. Hi Enreal! I think your suggestion is equally true of words and poetry to what I wrote in the poem. Just a matter of how you look at it.
