does anybody know where do the poets go?

*though a young’un here,

wander, stumble through

old poems via crazy word

searches, and bumble~bump

into fabulous poets who have

not scribed in many ayear,

and the curiosity chomps me

big time, where do the poets*

go,

 

when they without trace,

they disappear,

disparu sans laisser de trace

 

**leaving behind poems that leave

me breaathless, eyes watery,

could not have all died,

but their spark that lit up skies

world over,

has been extinguished*

 

impossible

cannot be,

perhaps they graduated

to more serious employ,

though know nothing better

than scripture of scribbling

a beauteous insights,

a pithy phrase

that rings the heart strings

in ways that leave you

gasping!**

 

**how

can you lose the

need,

urging,

compulsing,

sensation

to create

great?

 

**how can it be,

late at night,

the kids put to bed,

the papers writ,

the bills paid

as best one can,

that the inner scream

becomes your

fingertips

to blow, spark, and drip

fulsome

words?

 

unheard,

requiring

witnesses,

 

Where?

is that ****

divine action,

when

so many have lost

that sparking

of

describing

the sparkling best

that life

provides?**
