From The Underside Of The Wild Roses

Teddy.15

There's something most intriguing

about the work of a great poet

once he's dead

maybe it's the simple silence

never having to answer questions on his work…

  • Comment from author about the poem: I often wonder the meaning of poems i read sometimes i don't have a clue but it doesn't mean i don't like what i read. Then there are those who i can study and understand so much more deeply for example, The Raven which is one of my all time favourite poems by Edgar Allan Poe. incredible what just a small amount of research can uncover.

    A good point, Teddy. This poem is perfect. And the title, just wow!

        Many great artists not appreciated in their life time, I think of Van Gogh and others. Beauty does not need to be understood just felt. My mark of a great poem is one that touches me emotionally. A wonderful write Teddy

        • Teddy.15

          Thank you so much and I agree dear sorenbarret whole heartedly . 🤗

        • Doggerel Dave

          I'm still pondering the title - haven't got to the main meal yet....

          You are a poetic tease at times, Teddy.....😉

          • Teddy.15

            I'll take that as an incredible compliment dear Dave 💜

            • Doggerel Dave

              Indeed 'twas, Teddy.

            • Accidental Poet

              I know the feeling Teddy. Sometimes, no one understands the poem as much as the one who wrote it. But this is a little Gem of work. 😉👍

              • Teddy.15

                Awe I do my dear friend A.P but yes poetry self indulgence because it's a reflection of what we have observed in our own lives (mostly) thank you so much always 🤗

                Ok
                I'll ask before you snuff it
                What does it mean?
                Clever as always

                • Teddy.15

                  Hi peto, what does what mean?

                • peto

                  Hi Teddy
                  That didn't really work
                  Apologies
                  Was questioning the work of a great poet

                  • Teddy.15

                    Oh I see lol 🤣 you've been missed. I absolutely wouldn't class myself as any great poet, but you did just make me giggle. ❤️

                    • peto

                      Ah
                      But your readers should be allowed to
                      Thank you
                      Good to see you

                    • Bella Shepard

                      Such a wonderful thought to ponder, and you express it beautifully. The picture is so reflective of your words, you have a gift for always picking the right one. I love this dearly!

                      • Teddy.15

                        Thank you so much dearest Bella, you humble my heart. ❤️

                        So true Teddy but if you enjoy it its meaning may not matter.

                        Andy

                        • Teddy.15

                          for sure dear Andy, and if i am curious i simply ask or take to research.

                        • Thomas W Case

                          So true. Great work Teddy.
