Mnemosyne!
It's true!
Man has a whispering spirit!
It comes sneaking in on every breath
Where the trachea will steer it
In and out until our death.
But it's only something that we borrow
Each and every temporary day
To get us to our sacred tomorrow
That we can't get to any other way.
And so there is a magic in the air
That comes down to us from the sky;
A magic with which we must take care,
Since no concept would ever clarify
Without tons of phytoplanktonic aid...
From the seven seas big business betrayed.

One would think that after all these readers having read this one at least would leave a comment even if only to ask " whats it mean, then?"

Yeah, when I first started here people were pretty generous with the complimentary comments, but that seems to have tapered off. To be fair though, I don't expect a lot of folks to really get my anachronistic poetry. Shakespeare lovers understand, but they are dwindling more and more to the march of time.
I also think most folks just aren't tuned into the satisfaction that is to be had with the crafting of a more formally structured poem. If they were, then I am positive that your own poems would be getting a lot more likes and complimentary comments.
They are most certainly worthy of the adulation!

There! Seventh line you've hit it on the head. Bang!
Crafting, that's the word. Taking a bit of care.
Why don't folk bother to write with a bit of care? Beats me.

I think the majority of folks here are more interested in getting their rage, or twee, (rage-twee?) onto the page for the emo therapeutics and probably don't have the patience to study up on form.
Oh well. I guess any old turd in a punch bowl gets to be a poem these days.
