Love the adverbs in the first stanza. Fading eye sight makes me think of the ideas I didn't write down. I regret this lack of action when I can't retrieve that. one. line. The last stanza leaves the reader with a lot to consider.

Hello Vic, it has been awhile old friend, I have been away nurturing a new seed after mine burned out. The good thing about this site is, it just takes one scribble from someone else to inspire and rekindle, revitalize and rejuvenate the symbols it bore that express you ; )), love that line!

A nice poem.
The imagery is good. The flow is pleasing. The language is evocative. And it tells a truth for most writers, maybe all. I like the way it lays on the page, very flowing lines.
A pleasant read. Thanks for sharing.

Because I haven't changed the general thrust of my writing for some years now, only the thought in general has magnified its stance. My life and lens lengthened from myopic and foggy, to a much clearer focus about forty years ago, but gather yours have too Doug. Beautifully written blessings Roy

I'm not an expert at interpreting poems but I'm going to take a shot at it. I think that the message is that because of fading eyesight, the writer has lost the letters/words/will to express himself which is his identity as a poet. What he's able to come up with is nonsense even to him, but he finds a thread, a seed that he can grasp and find the way back or he can let it go and be indifferent. I like the poem and the picture, and I like what I've been able to glean from it, although it might not be what you intended at all.

What I intend is not everything. I learn more from the different takes expressed by the readers. Thank you,

An interesting poem about losing your muse perhaps? The words are lost but perhaps they will grow again or just fade away(rot). Whatever was there remains inside of you. Thank you for sharing. :)

I love the line "Fly my Pathos, for I knew thee well. Aristotle would be proud! I think your pathos may very well turn in something, let's hope the wind carries it to fertile ground to grow and grow. good job.

Well, if your muse wrote this, He or she did a very nice job. Descriptive words, I'm not sure If I understood it all but I did enjoy. But as always, I do appreciate your work,Victortouché.
