Never unpublish poetry

Submitted by lovedly on Tue, 2015-03-03 00:32

All _my dear sublimes
I would by now
be a cold black coal mine
So don’t think of yourself less
Others don't understand you
as much as they ought to
let that be a calculated guess
let the poetry stay

does one kill an autistic child?
no way
I profess
keep yourself running
in the composing process

So far so many decades have lapsed
but the poet in me
has yet not collapsed....
despite some who wished it!

Style / type: 
Free verse

If I put a piece of poetry on Neopoet and it receives very few comments I will un-publish it, as I always keep all I write on my own system I don't lose anything.
I get tired of commenting on many poems and finding none on my work I am here to learn as everyone, and I didn't have the training that some have had here.
It saves me a lot of time bothering about poems that don't warrant comment.
There are many ways to save your own works on line so I don't worry about the un-published ones.
Yours, Ian

Ian _sparrow
an exception
but we normal underlings
mundane of humanity
are full if determination
why the fucks some one won't read us?
we insist and hence persist
you too follow me
