~ this was an innovative idea I had so I sketched over 400 sketches of my memories ~
Grab a blank sketch book and call it your own Create your personal memory album It’s fun, creative, therapeutic, and shareable Your eyes will light up each time you share memories Your heart will tingle as you turn the pages You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll travel back in time ‘Cause memories are meant to be remembered Take your book and sketch your favourite memories The object is not to produce works of art but To evoke the feelings related to each moment in time Draw stickmen and cartoons but mostly Exaggerate details to get each feeling across Even with unpleasant memories The ones that haunt you because You still see them through a child’s eye I found the adult in me wanting to step in And protect my inner child There was a soothing healing happening And I felt much lighter about it all Better than a camera, you hold the pencil Drop irrelevant details, expand on the relevant ones Tweak the images in your mind and put them on paper Feel free to add key words of course Re-spin the storyline and rewrite your history Create your own precious memory album Start now, pick up a pencil Draw the memories you hope to never forget Sketch the elements of your magical moments… Published in PoetrySoup's second anthology "PS: It's Still Poetry - An Anthology of Contemporary Poetry from Around the World" Paperback – January 1, 2022 Published in my mini book of sketches ~FLASH MEMORY THERAPY~ 2019 AP: 2nd place 2020
