" THE FACELESS POETS "
The faceless names, through years unfettered by muses
A cryptic place of fame and elegy, supplied
Where many a poets pen, has crawled, confused
For the ink, like the poets blood, has become burnt & sun dried
Even frozen cryptically, like other Faceless Poets through time...
Voices unnoticed, but when remembered, retain
A friendly countenance, a joyous exuberance, ever-evolving
And when discussed by the few, the faceless poets , readily remain
A song in their hearts repeated, in mornings showers, dissolving
Like Van Gogh's ear proved him, a faceless poet as well...
In some crowded, parasol driven, crowding, madness
A sea of youth explodes, through mine-fields of poetic gladness
Where the pheromones from faceless poets linger,
And the ever-growing virtues, of their written words live on,
Through legends, and backwater storytellers, in riddles, rhymes,
And reasons that scream, One Love!!
Tony Taylor. (Chicago)

Hello Tony...
The analogy of this is fantastic...
Many writers can touch the hearts of many...
Quotes are repeated and some used for inspiration...
Some we don't know what they looked like...
A poet without a face...
Great write!
Thank you for sharing...
Hugs and Smiles!

Yay!! ~ Thanx FEATHERS!!..... you're exactly right....... many become quotes and we have no idea where they came from........ some faceless poet....... that in his or her own way....... left their mark upon the world............ glad you enjoyed this......... made my day!!....... smiles.......T xo
My Brother Tony,
Your prose takes one to the deepest depths of comprehension. I kowtow to my Master, for your words teach me so much. I must dig deep into my soul for interpretation, for you bare yours, and I dare not mistreat it. So, you endow me with your pheromones, and I endeavor to pass them on to others as the legacy of my so gifted Guru, Tony Taylor.
Peace, Love and Rockets,

WOW!! ~ LARRY!!......I don't think "Thank You" is enough to reply to a comment like this........ made me smile ~ " ..endow me with your pheromones..." (lol!).......I understand your meaning but it's still funny!!......... you're giving me too much credit brother poet........ It wasn't too long ago that I began writing poetry seriously....... been writing in one way or another most of my life....... but only serious poetry for a couple of years......... you will be having this conversation with another soon........ only the roles will be reversed......... keep up the good work brother poet...... and thanx so much for this kindness!!......... Love and Rockets!!........T xo
Hi Tony I could have sworn i left a comment on your poem
Yesterday, maybe i did and did`nt save it grrr!
Anyways i loved this write about the" Faceless Poets"
the the unsung hero`s of the literary world so to
speak,you mentioned Van Goch in your poem and i
found out he was a great reader and writer of letter`s
describing his life the books he read and his art of his time
In your poem Tony you gave credit where credit was due
to these Faceless poets my respect for that
and you wrote it with your beautiful words
and in your own unique style
