Demise of a poem
Soman Ragavan said:
The title “Demise of a poem” is problematic. The nature of poetry is such that a poem, once composed, has a life of its own. It goes beyond the reach of the poet himself. Indeed, others (eg critics) can find in it things that the original poet himself did not see. For such is the nature of poetry. It is so complex that even the poet might not fully realise what he has produced. Strangely, other people might be able to decipher the issues.
“(Quoting PHILIP LARKIN).
“Some years ago I came to the conclusion that to write a poem was to construct a verbal device that would preserve an experience indefinitely by reproducing it in whoever read the poem. (.....) “ -- \"MODERN POETS IN FOCUS.\" (Volume 2). (Edited by Jeremy Robson). London : Woburn Books Ltd., 1973.
So, in writing a poem, somehow we expect, in our subconscious at least, that others will be able to dig into the meanings.

Lies of romance
Soman Ragavan said:
Intuition is a powerful force, as well as a mysterious one. It cannot be explained. More often than not, it advises us for the better. But we prefer to throw away that advice. We might live to regret it. Intuition is a power that complements intelligence and reasoning. It operates on laws of its own. But the voice is distinctly there. We ignore it at our own peril.

Thankfully i got them back but i cried every day because of that .As you said our poems are just like our children and its actually so sad when you have a good idea and you have written such a great poem and you just cant find the right words to finish it.

Very thought provoking. Does art exist for its own sake or is its survival and meaning depend on tbe beholder?

Good Metaphor .
\'The Poet\' by Rainer Maria Rilke is a good Poem on the Muse Subject.

We\'ve all been there, and I suppose that doesn\'t help at all, and there is no clear-cut solution. I have tried many, many techniques to get back on track, and I\'m convinced it\'s just a matter of time. Some seemed to work at the time but failed when tried at a later date. One way that worked is to write about not being able to write. I hope this gets you going again. - Phil A.

Don\'t you ever stop or at least slow down Soren? I remain unsure as to who will exhaust themselves first, you or your followers. Either way I always read \'em get what I can out of \'em and thanks for the chance to do that!

This is a sobering piece.There is a touch of sadness at the fact that some poems are regarded as imperfect and in fact dead. But really you have to trust your audience.they will see things you never thought were there. This is a powerful poem that made me think.Well done

This is strong and emotional. It shows the pain of losing creativity in a powerful way. The images used—like poems being buried or lost—are clear and moving. It feels very real and honest.
