Thanks Jo, it's a bit of a miserable poem unfortunately - might have to work on the cheery version :) thanks for your supportive words x

Thanks Linda! It was a lucky accident that I'd written a long and boring poem that transformed itself into a decent 4 liner instead - thanks for your kind words, I'm thrilled with a first place x

Thanks SV - I was quite pleased I could add a dimension within the form as per the contest requirement. It's good when a contest lands and I am not in a cat sat on the mat mood :)

Very alluring and mysterious, if memory is malleable, how do we know what is true?

It was prompted by me considering a Facebook memory that popped up - most certainly you can never tell with photographs. The next layer was holiday memories, where the annoying bit fade with memory. Sometimes memory is enhanced so much you can wonder what's wrong with the present day (until tomorrow reorders yesterday) x

A great verse. Thought provoking. I enjoyed it. Thank you for sharing and (whispering) good luck in the contest!

Thanks Christina - I was writing a poem that didn't quite work but this little one appeared off the back of it - it's nice when that happens. Glad you liked it
