Seven hundred and three

by Keith D Allison

Bits and pieces
Of time
 
Three short stories
Seven hundred poems
 
Once they were mine
But now they're gone
 
One man's gold
Is another's junk
 
They met that force in the universe
It whisper when you're gone this is what will happen
 
With the click of a key
They found the dark hole

Accidental or purposeful deletion? Either way an intriguing poem Keith. Reminds me of how Picasso's mother threw out dozens of his paintings (that we will never get to see and enjoy) when she was house cleaning.

Oops! What an idiot I am. That was Van Gogh not Picasso.

a fun& intelligent brief on "beauty is in the eye of the beholder". i love this for the simple fact that i think every artist lives a life under the quality microscope of many others. a powerful little poem that packs a punch. well done keith...
