Poem Number 23289

Poets where are You?

the day
poetry died
an ordinary day
the words just quietly faded
away
~
they've all
gone, one by one
our prodigal poets
all we have left is the final
counter
~
finding
friends on facebook
spacing out in myspace
following and being followed
twitter
~
they all
just up and left
so what are you doing?
obsessing with what's on your mind!
return
~
I say!
your inner self
share who you really are
sacrifice a few pokes and tweets
for words
~
yes words
savoured with salt
words that yearn to be heard
that emanate from deep within
again!
~

-------
forget
what's on your mind!
tell me what's in your heart!
that is what you should be doing
please write!
