THE ORPHANED POEM.
I have lost money
I have lost valuables
I have lost material possessions
Yet when I lost a poem
Which I had loved
Held close to my heart
It was a loss
A grief, Irrevocable
For never can I write
The poem again
With the same passion
With which I had it written
Never can it
Ever be the original
Indeed I am lost
In the memories
Of the poem
I had cosseted
And pampered
And nourished
Lying about
Like an orphaned child
In search for her roots
Helplessly
Looking for her mother
She never had the providence
To love , nurture and treasure.

This poem speaks truth!! I feel the SAME way when losing a good poem or a good write. Back in school days, I would write some GOOD papers, poured out my heart and soul, turn it in and wait eagerly for its return with mark of my grade or just have it come back to me.....and teachers would keep it, trash it, don't know....just didn't give back even when asked.
Definitely felt like "The Orphan searching for my roots" as it is proven truth: it cannot be re-created! Modified, corrected, inmproved from the original, but NEVER lost & re-created....
Love.your style!!!
