How beautifully you have articulated your thought! Yes, nothing lasts but your poems will last for a long long time.
Beautiful said. True nothing lasts. Thats we must seize the moment...because nothing lasts.
Oh My God! What an outstanding poem stands out here! Lora, your poem touched my heart, I read it again and again! How beautifully you've expressed the sad feelings! The fourth stanza is the best. Poignance and melancholy find easy and eloquent expression in your poems. This poem gets 10/10 from me and I pick this up to 'MyPoemList'.
