The best poem of a poet <br />Is the last one he says <br />Poems written before seem <br />To be forgotten entities <br /> <br />Only fresh poems get <br />Comments one or two <br />Uncommented old poem's <br />A misplaced book on shelf. <br /> <br />Freshness' what we look for <br />In fruit, vegetable, or meat <br />Freshness' all that matters <br />In everything that we eat. <br /> <br />Yet old is gold we say <br />And enjoy old poems <br />Old masters we never <br />Forget even in dreams. <br /> <br />Their poetry shines for ever <br />We're happy to memorize lines <br />Our own old poems we note <br />Were fresh when they appeared. <br /> <br />Dear poet let poetry live <br />Write and deliver'em fresh <br />All your poems one day'll <br />Be appreciated as timeless.<br /><br />Tirupathi Chandrupatla<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/timeless-poems/
