You are onto something here. I feel like I've read parts of this poem before, but can't remember exactly where. Your Port Trakl writings? I think this is the start of something special. Keep it going. This is the beginning of an epic adventure, a story, a collection of poems. The imagery is striking and poignant and the voices I love. How many voices will emerge to put together the shards of lost poems?
I had not thought of this possibility of a series of poems on this theme. But once you shared that impression with me it made perfect sense. I love the way you inhabit the poems you read and see aspects of their living being which I the writer have not seen. This brings out the notion that poetry - both writing it and reading it - is community-based: we are in this art together, co-creators in the best sense of the word.
Fabulous fantasy. Insightful and entertaining too. Thanks for sharing. Ten points.

Daniel this is very intriguing, it gave me a sense of depravation deep within, a sense of loss that I didn't want to feel. Insipid emotions of intense feelings grasping hold of my heart and pulling me into the depths of a nether world that I wanted no part of. Then you scattered about the bits and pieces of poetry that were stranded in the back woods of minds past, those lines that made us angry and uncomfortable for being written in a style we didn't want to read. Emptiness, the void, buried in a terror of loss, unable to focus the truth of despair, so silently trying to replace the abandonment of our souls in fragments of disgrace. Wow! You totally captured my mind with this poem, my whole being in fact. So intensely deep, profound, complex in it's simplicity! Fantastic painting of literature now lying everywhere and awaiting renewal. Superb write, totally love it, Daniel Thank you for sharing this one. RoseAnn
Do you remember over a year ago when you wondered how I found things in your poems you had not anticipated? And I assured you your poems had remarkable depths a sensitive, alert reader will find. Well, now it is my turn to be dazzled by your response to this poem. You have opened it up and shown me its possibilities through your experiences in reading it. Isn't it wonderful how we help each other understand our own creativity? ! A sensitive reader completes the creative work we do in solitude by sharing his/her impressions.
