Back In Time

Anybody wonder why we can't just rewrite history to make it suit ourselves? I do. I hope you understand my heart. Many of the greats Byron, Shelley, Keats and Plath and even Dunbar were people reportedly with lots of deficiencies. Try to put yourself in their place. There is often little know about a great man. The market is glut with poets. Read the greats.
Rewrite them. Copy their style. Use their lines in a contest. Ask the neopoet to finish it up and to change the ending.
I wish I could change the ending and lengthen the writing career of so many that were cut short in the field. I hope you understand my euphemisms. I am a reader and a writer. But I enjoy all the arts. This came as a result of contests and looking back over snippets of time and capsules or mosaics of pictures painted by male poets who won awards they never knew about. Pay them tribute. Remember your school days. Those poems are eternal.
