Verses of dust

sorenbarrett

I mold each day a poem of clay some crumble some stay strong
Some time paints others mold taints each carries their own song
From days mud feelings flood shaped by imagination's hand
Baked from earth's crust most turn to dust the rest into sand

    I know the feeling.Some of mine are like arrows that hit the target others miss by a mile.A very thought provoking piece

    • sorenbarrett

      Thanks David for the read and comment. In the past here and other sites I have watched some poems get hundreds of reads and other none. As time goes by they get less and less until covered in dust they become buried and lost.

        Your words are like clay, molded into a beautiful, poignant reflection on the human experience. Every line is a testament to the fragile, yet resilient nature of life.

              You use clay as a metaphor for experiences and emotions. The act of molding clay parallels the way we shape our thoughts and feelings into art. Your poem seeks to express the complexities of creation, acknowledging both the ephemeral and lasting aspects of artistic endeavors and inviting readers to consider their own creative journeys.

                          Indeed, the poet's craft. Not every piece will be of the same quality, but they will be crafted all the same. Wonderful poem, my friend. 🌹👏

                          • sorenbarrett

                            Thank you Tristan I appreciate your read and comment and you are so right not all are the same quality and those that the author feels are best may be the least accepted.

                                Not everything created will endure; some will crumble, but the process of creation remains meaningful.

                                • sorenbarrett

                                  So true in the process there is healing. Some that see it may be effected for every action there is a reaction. Thank you so much for the read and comment it is appreciated

                                    So nice! Felt like personification of the poems and telling each has its own life.
