Lost a lot of poetry that I never wrote down anywhere else.

Interesting thought I had:

  • In the dark ages, poetry was written (if at all) in books, but most people didn't have access to the books so the poems went unread in their times, but now we can read some of them... survived through time.
  • Today, poetry is written online for mass distribution, but it can be erased easily and no future people can read it.

So breadth and time are swapped.

Tho seen by few when first writ down with parchment, ink and quill Old poems may survive time's fearful frown to be read again still. But internet prose and quik clik selection is often gone too soon Unless you've sent a dic pic to the collection of Saint Maroon.
