Muse of Calliope

It’s been a while

Its been a while since i have regularly posted

My views have been quite perilously demoted

I never stopped writing poems

But they were just not meant to be promoted

 

Some i wrote for family

Some i wrote for friends

Sometimes Precious memories

Can only be shared with kin.

 

I still love this community

And all the talented poets therein

So I’ll make some precious memories

That i can share with friends

 

Some poems

I want to keep

in a box

on a shelf

for safekeeping

 

Some poems

I want to sweep

under a rock

in a well

safe from seeing

 

Some poems I want to shout out into the air

Some poems i want to hold close with care

 

But all of them,

Like a poet friend soren once said,

Are such precious gems,

Like poetic children so sacred.
