Poems aren't entities any more than people, and the repetition of patterns experienced as people is the rebirth of the person.

Here is where I get stuck, FBM. Maybe is just about semantics. The teachings of Buddha are very accurate about rebirth. What I experience when reading a poem is just an image, as a mind object... not a rebirth of any person, even if the poem is recited by someone... what really happens are mind objects seducing mind as a sense organ. In the unaware mind it can be the case of the birth of self... why re-birht?
