A Memory “M” #atozchallenge #poetry

Loose letters

compose a written memory…

“Look back

to a fragrant past

but sadly one that didn’t last

not a promising future

there will never be

removing that circular band

you set me free.”

tear streamed I walk

facing heartache of the day

why so long did I stay?

circling about the regrets

I write on a page

ripping the fluttering story

journal of myself now dead

handing it back to him

the answer circled in red

he had held on

hoping to gain

once again control

“Look back scoundrel

to a shattered past

but sadly one that didn’t last

you broke it once

so hold it near

pieces of golden band

is all that’s dear”

What do you think the metaphor in this poem is???

“One of the advantages of being disorderly is that one is constantly making exciting discoveries.”

A.A. Milne

Wow we are half way through the A to Z challenge. How are you holding up???

Thank you for visiting Moondustwriter. One of the many exciting things I've had the honor of doing is writing with an E. African team that is developing elementary curriculum for African children. As a writer, it is a thrill to help children (on all continents) who want to learn. I've been part of the blogging community for more than 10 years. Some old timers may remember the award winning (2011 Twitter Shorty ) blog community - One Stop Poetry. I was the co-producer of that fast growing blog community. I am a published writer, poet, artist and photographer. I have written, as well as edited, for periodicals, radio, blogs and fellow writers. There are many facets to this moon - thanks for stopping by. View more posts
