a worthy exercise, also being resurrected.
Would love to see us take a fresh new take on this thread.

So the question: if you were to be remembered as a poet, how would you feel about being known for one line of one poem rather than for the body of work you produced?
If you were to be known for just one line of one of your poems to date, which would it be?
I suspect you're right in this.It seems that most folks know only certain poets (generally dead ones), and of those (with a few exceptions), only know one poem, or even only one line of a poem written by that poet.
I would be so happy to be remembered as a poet, as a writer, as a creator. It's hard to imagine a scenario where people know my work enough to quote a line. Even one line. But I would feel honored to be remembered. Isn't that the greatest compliment? How we live on through the ages?So the question: if you were to be remembered as a poet, how would you feel about being known for one line of one poem rather than for the body of work you produced?
Which would I want it to be? Something from Ode to Kintsugi. Which would it be? Probably something ridiculous.If you were to be known for just one line of one of your poems to date, which would it be?
... how do you form a poem with allowance for audience "space".
