Was lost back then
And then regained
When artiste died

Such high praise from one of my favourite poets is indeed an honour. THX so much, Anjandev.

So true, so true and how sad it is when those so meritorious are not while alive recognized for their genius and personal talent. Your poem expresses this so very well! Great piece!
That's the beauty of a platform like Poem Hunter. It's home to the recognition of talent from the past and present. Susan, THX so much for your observations and very positive response to my poem.
