Can a poem ever die?

Interesting and very true. It's simple but gets the point across well. Nice job.

Judging comment:

"I can't state how much I adore that one opening line. I believe we can all relate to that as poets and I find it to be so true- a poem is alive, because it's our thoughts, our words, our opinions, our emotions. It's our lives.
Whilst I really enjoyed this poem and do agree with it I found the ending to end on somewhat of a negative tone because of the way it was phrased whereas I found the previous parts incredibly thought provoking and moving.
Then again, I guess if/when a poem loses its meaning then that means that the time that the author talks about in said poem doesn't really have any meaning anymore, and this could be taken both positively or negatively depending on which part of a person's life was losing it's original meaning, so looking objectively and without knowing more detail I could take it either way.
What I do love is how the entire poem is worded and how it makes us question and really think on things, as of course to a poet a poem will always be alive at the time of creation and will be something unique and meaningful to each writer.
My only complaint is that I would have liked to see more imagery throughout as I believe this would have added even more emotion to a wonderfully penned piece."

Your poems are always so unique. Sometimes it's so hard to find something to write about that hasn't been done 2304923808 times, but you always seem to do it! :)

Personally, I don't think a poem can ever die... but I think I know what you mean... that the words that once held meaning no longer do not. Like saying "I love you" at one point to someone and then you have a falling out and don't anymore, they hold no meaning any longer.

Very thought provoking!

Interesting interpretation .

I however believe they can never die as
The poems from 1700 , 1800 are still very
Much alive today.

However if you write a poem about your love
And the love ends maybe that's when the poem
Loses all meaning and out to rest.

Really loved this idea the wird choice was amazing
And the whole creativity of the poem really makes
The words glue in your mind.

Amazing job .

Awww! From a bright beginning to a gloomy ending! Lol well, I loved this piece a lot! And I know this poem will be immortal...( I hope so that its not blessed with death! :) )
