Poets Die A Thousand Deaths (Mercifully Abridged Edition) Poem by Bryan Corbett

1. poets die penniless
2. poets die misunderstood
3. poets die over every word
4. poets die tortured
5. poets die questioning
6. poets die wondering
7. poets die quietly
8. poets die a little every day
9. poets die broken hearted
10. poets die searching for God
11. poets die denying His existence
12. poets die hopeless
13. poets die dreaming
14. poets die thinking of love, lost
15. poets die worried
16. poets die alone
17. poets die when poets die...

... and then the poet dies

in life,
a poet dies a thousand deaths;
but a poem lives forever
