I've always wanted to do a rhetorical question poem, so here's one...
How often does your childhood memories Haunt you? Deep asleep? When you awake at dawn? Halfway through The Rubicon of your daydreams? In the thick of solitude, or just when You wax nostalgic with your folks? Do you hold happy ones so dear you wish to Turn back the hands of time and relive them? Do you remember them vividly Or do they clog your memory like a fog? How long do they fade into oblivion Before they spring back again like a boomerang? Do they keep lingering and floating In your mind like a cloud, or do they Steal away as quick as a flash of lightning? Do the unpleasant ones stick to Your mind like metal sticks to magnet Or do they escape like grains of sand do When squeezed tightly under a clenched fist? Date written and posted: 01/18/2018
