I had a poem
published on the Internet.

It looked good there and
I went to see it often.

After a while they moved the
poem into a

great big archive with
a lot of other poems.

I still visited
though maybe not quite as much.

One day I went to look and
it had disappeared.

I suppose it must
have escaped or maybe died.

I'm not sure how long
poems are supposed to last.

Someone told me forever
but that can't be right.
