He digs deep
Not knowing if he will find
Searching for lost treasures
From an era past
Ancient relics
Which today lie in ruins
Rich pieces of History
Waiting to be rediscovered
Secrets of a civilization
Now deceased
Like an Archeologist
Excavating the deposits of time
Sifting through the sand
Sorting through substrata
Looking for old world artefacts
Values, virtue, wisdom
And so he chips away
random rants ruminations ramblings 
And so he chips away
And delights us with his finds!
Words scarcely used today and almost forgotten
He dusts sifts through them and carves them back to life
We are happy he keeps chipping away
Never know what find he may present every morrow 🙂

i really dig it [eek!] especially the line ‘and so he chips away’ which conveys SO MUCH in terms of intent and determination and longevity and so on – really great poem, thanks for sharing…
i have been experimenting with Micropoetry lately and although i still think i need to figure out how to use less words it has been a lot of fun: https://brettfish.wordpress.com/2015/07/14/micropoetry-2015
Keep on

Hi there, I’m following your link from the Community Pool asking for honest feedback. I like how you’ve used an archaeological scene to create this poem, but I think some of it’s message might be getting lost in a preoccupation to get in the terminology. I’d also suggest experimenting with punctuation in order to add some more structure to the piece. Full stops and commas can be great for creating emphasis on certain phrases and adding depth, while capital letters at the start of each line are not always needed and can make the flow feel a little clunky. I really like the theme of this piece though. The second stanza felt a little unfinished perhaps, but the last line packs a really good punch. I’d definitely be interested in reading more of your work.
