Notes About The Poem

Poem Your Voice Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Charles Messina  Written 2/28/2026

Lingering Memories JU

Rain clouds every moment beat,
bursting full at my bare feet
as lovesickness redefines.
Years passed like ascending vines.

Its trimmings bind, soar aloft,
then linger and gently waft.
A faint whisper sign of hope
falls beyond the narrow scope.
