a poet dies young.
the ghost drops in on its older self
from time to time.

The author encourages honest critique.
I'd agree, although there are
exceptions, Thomas Hardy
being one, of course...
and often the appreciation
of poetry lingers long past
the dying of the lyrical
youth, contemplation being
a lasting pleasure...
good observations.
i...i was careful from the beginning with this piece to say "a poet" not "the poet," originally intending it to be a scene from one "poet's" point of view about his or her self, and not a statement about poets in general. it was really a mature version of something i wrote a couple years ago. and, with this way of looking at the piece, your observation of continued contemplation fits quite well...but contemplation is not the preview solely of "poets," of course.
