I hate looking for poems on the internet.
Only 500,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 results... even on the poen-centric websites that contain only 125,000 poems.

It was a good poem...

1. Were you looking for a specific poem?
Or just kind of browsing for one?

Maybe someone here could help. There's lots of secret poetry geeks around, I promise!

2. Yes...
I've the name of the poem and its author at a friend's home.

The poem deals with aging and our goals in life... with the final two lines being very provocative regarding the inanity of our quest.

I will try to remember and put it up tomorrow.

3. Oy. That is a pretty broad search.
OK, shot in the dark (bad pun)--it couldn't be "When I Consider How My Light is Spent," could it? I guess even "Ozymandius" would fit that theme.

Do post it tomorrow, if you can!
