To all the poets' many woes


Misunderstood. It's such a crime,


As much a shame as any rose


That's picked before it's time.


For only the stanzas know


The meaning beneath their chime.


As only the leaves beneath the snow


Truly know of a summer's rhyme.
...because i know that a whole lot of poets have people who read their poems and don't have a clue what they were trying to say. There's even probably some people who don't know what this poem is about.

Just wanted to say that if you're a poet who's had anyone misread your work, i feel for ya.
