Oh, Ye Poets....!

Hello Alexis...

A lot of people that once enjoyed reading Poetry doesn't understand what they call modern day with all the cussing and pornographic styles...

I have tried to explain that people write what they feel...

Modern day Poets have it as Romance and it's the way people talk...

They say they're good with the good music that tells a wonderful story...

If they want to read something good, they'll read their good books of old...

I have had people who write and want to share in a forum to come and read Cosmo, now they won't talk to me anymore...

I know how to get rid of people and I don't have to be rude...

Wasn't my intention but, I learned how to do it when I want to get rid of them...

Great again!

Thank you for sharing...

Hugs...

There are no new poems in their foundation.... there are no phrases that are completely new in their intent....... only new ways of bringing old ideas to light .......there are only new ways of interpreting that which has gone before..... and the crystalline understanding that ANYTHING that is conceivable IS possible...... when we write, whether we know it or not, we are paying homage to writers and thinkers of old...... the coolest thing about be an artist/writer (in my humble opinion) is that we get to re-interpret, and build upon greatness, and in that way we ARE unique, we ARE originally affecting the hearts and minds of those we touch in the here and now....... we CAN take E=MC2 into the dark energy it is.... and help a new generation understand that a trip to the other side of energy is not only possible.... but waiting to find its way into fruition...... that 'Walden' was not only a beautiful reflection but a tonic for the soul of a poet.........I LOVE this write of yours...... it has the steely sinew of the muscle of poetic youth!!.......I look forward to more from you!!...... apologies for the rambling.......I just get inspired by those who inspire!!......ALL STARS!!......... powerful write dear poet sister!!!...... well delivered sonnet with fine rhythm and timing in the heart of it!!........LOVE and ROCKETS!!.....T xo

❝Oh, Ye old poets, whose life's brave minds coast
along while watching youth edit old gems.
Youth, who like Shakespeare, proved, albeit, boast,
that their spry writings are the cream d’la crème. →Drop the word "that" and this line becomes iambic, Alex.
 
Let's roll back years and find these runes with scars.
Those poems, prose, and tales once penned to stir→Add "tall" before "tales"
the reader’s mind in reaching for the stars.
Let not reviews create a mental blur.
 
Yet, raise your flags on high, ye poets young,
and praise old poets who've anchored you→ "who have anchored you..."
to archaic means. Poets, who have sung,
and mixed their time to let young works ensue.
 
Evolves each poet with a certain grace,
who writes onward and spies their dying race?❞

This is good sonnet from a technical aspect, Alex. I echo the same sentiments of my peers above.
