Old Poets

 

Old poets never die

Nor do they simply fade away

 

They either write

Themselves into a corner

 

Or get written into history by

Someone else they say

 

Maybe a lover or a stranger

Who knows it matters not

 

I notice I am history from today

      Neville

    • kevin browne

      I'll have to agree with Michael, your poetry is quite exciting. I pretend to be a poet, but up against the immortals I am just a whisperer with a pen.

      • Neville

        you guys are both far too kind if you ask me...

      • orchidee

        • Neville

          not quite..

        • dusk arising

          Life - a history lesson.

          Without a history, whats to write about.

          Long may you make more history Neville.

          • Neville

            So now we shall read you in publications only - though we graduated in the same year, agewise, I have a long way to go before even be called a poet

            • Neville

              you can read me any which way you like... I call you both poet and friend.... what year did you graduate.... see your statement gave birth to a series of questions.... N

              • Suresh

                1965

                • Neville

                  is that the year of your earth birth, or the year you graduated from University?

                  • Suresh

                    High School.
                    I am supposing from earlier reads that Michael, Goldfinch and yourself to be from the same era.

                    • Neville

                      it would seem you are burning a few more candles than me... but hey.. what is time other than something to set ya watch by..... N

                    • Goldfinch60

                      Those words of poets live for ever in the minds of those who read them. Reading your words Neville consigns them to the glory of history, never to be forgotten.

                      • Neville

                        Now there's a fine thing if ever there was..... Bless you GF60 and I hope you have a fine Sunday sir.... Neville
