I Miss


I miss every bit of my childhood;
memories in a sepulchre
buried too deep to exhume
with my rusty shovel.
should I keep digging 
or let those fond 
days of old 
simply 
be?

Dear EI, this is so heartfelt, in few syllables youv expressed so well. I really love “ memories in a sepulchre buried too deep to exhume with my rusty shovel.” the word sepulchre and that phrase really stood out for me in this touching nonet flowing with perfect syllables! Left me wanting to read more.Pleasure reading you. Congratulations on your win

Hello Edward, I hope all is well with you. I just read your poem. the choice is up to you. If it is good memories then keep digging. If it is not a good memory. Let it be. Blessings my friend. /Darlene/
