My Poems

My poems are like my memories
Some long, some brief, some rotten.
A few will last my lifetime
And some are best forgotten.

My memories of long ago
My poems of today
Are intertwined and so designed
They each have much to say.

Originating deep within,
Mind doesn’t know they’re there
Until some trigger brings them forth
My very soul to share.

You have described exactly what makes your poetry so appealing to me, Joyce. You integrate the old memories and give them a modern spin. Surely, none of your work could be called "rotten," my dear. A sure winner in Thvia's contest! Love, Carolyn
