December 13, 2013 Poets United/Verse First - Lost Art

Poets United  Prompt:  Lost Art

Lost Art
When the piece
Doesn’t work
And I am weary
I simply call it
A lost piece
I wasn’t able to save it
Couldn’t revive it
Got lost in the process
Had to let it go
Grieved for a moment
And began again
I suppose
Somewhere is
Written
There must be
A certain number
Of lost pieces of art
In any career
So celebrate
Another one down
Another one less
In the future
