poem can never
give itself to the reader
if he is not found

poem is unmade
a reader makes a poem
with him in it there

Once a poem leaves the nest, it must fly under its own steam - and it will be interpreted differently depending upon the reader. That is the wonder of the process. As you express so eloquently, here, a poem can only become itself when it has a reader to share its dance. Love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

so true... a poet can paint pictures with words but a reader can tell the beauty of it and the meaning it conveys great ideas as always, Sam... 10++++ Lovelots, Maia

once we've shared a poem...it has already changed....the reader has already infused it with his own meaning....(and thanks for sharing this!)
