What use is a vain trophy <br />For untouched, unread poetry? <br />The words and lines are thirsty <br />For a reader's glance, maybe? <br />What then are a hundred books <br />Published but gathering dust? <br />Just like many dried up brooks <br />Can't give water as it must. <br />For in the end the reason <br />We write and paint with pen <br />Is to reach with words someone <br />Pray our works may not be hidden. <br />Let them not remember names <br />But in their hearts there store <br />Phrases, meanings and not fame <br />What the poem was written for! <br /> <br />All rights reserved~~~~Cynthia Buhain-Baello~~~01.24.14<br /><br />Cynthia BuhainBaello<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/what-a-poem-is-written-for/
