Ephemera, a short lived life of cherished times before the strife meandered into detritus with depth enough to bury thus beneath the memories with spite. Photographs torn up by his wife, the shreds did cut him like a knife, and nevermore did he discuss ephemera! Will his life soon be free from rife, will he discern a golden fife to lead him on without a fuss, down new pathways where he can trust treasure in the scraps of his life's ephemera?

meandered into detritus… Photographs torn up by his wife, the shreds did cut him like a knife…Your poem seems effortless, but I know the work you put in. Hugs ~ Kim

The most difficult part was finding rhymes for some of the words I used. Some words have very few rhyme options. Thank you for your kind comment.

I enjoyed this poem and assume its your entry into the contest. I think it should place well. Love the 'ephemera?' at the end. Best wishes with the contest, Sara

Yes. It was written for the contest. I used a structured form, which is always a challenge for me especially when it comes to rhyme.
