Notes About The Poem

Metamodern Imagism. See the article: Metamodern Imagism | PoetrySoup.com

A Palimpsest of Emotions

The lanes of Yew trees
in the Garden of Remembrance 
cast long shadows 
over the wilting wreaths of regret. 
The miasma 
of the colophons
inscribed
superseded by
the suppressed vignettes
at each service held.

I have now added it as an example poem to my article: "Metamodern Imagism". I truly strive to encourage poets to think outside the box. Like the school of Imagistes, it only takes a handful of dedicated poets to set the pace.

This is haunting. So much said with so little. It demands conscience.
