To the dead poet of obscurity

(In honor of the dead unpublished poet)

Well done!

You have won!

You should not feel sorry

Your unpublished poems

-Always remember-

Have not been buried

Haven’t bent

Under the strength of time

Like gold

Inside the soil

They remain

They never melt

They may be late

But they will be given

To their people

Someday

To offer their sweet

Eternal essence.

Dimitris P. Kraniotis, Greece
