Dead Poets

 

We are all

Destined to be

Dead poets

In this earthly

Go round,

One or two

Read,

Most forgotten

Never read at all,

Pictures pulled

 Down

From the wall,

Those in albums

Faded, sticky,

CD’s unreadable,

Web Pages

Wandering that zone

Of no street names

No addresses,

Now and then

Like curious graveyard

Lookers brushing

Of a stone,

A few note the

Names on pages,

Checking genealogy,

Whatever your form

Be writing,

The ink dries quickly

In the pen.
