Sara Kendrick Poet Quintain (English)

Notes About The Poem

Written after being inspired by Suzette's contest. I don't know if it will be entered or not. 

Mysterious Memories

MYSTERIOUS thoughts come at my revery
At times they do appear not every
Sometimes those memories are so great
Sometimes those memories are scary bad
Maybe my life only suffers this fate

MEMORIES mysterious or ribaldry
Those that are hateful, need placed in pillory
Hold onto only good thoughts and emotion
Build your esteem up with meditation
Let love of others and self be your potion

Bj Legros Kelley June 25, 2026 at 8:28 AM This is lovely, it is good to try to remember the good and forget the hurt, sometimes that is really hard, but placing the hurt and scary memories with our Lord does bring comfort. Sara Kendrick June 25, 2026 at 1:59 PM Thank you, BJ. If I could turn all things over to the Lord and leave them there, but that is not easy for me. Your visit is uplifting and encouraging. Sara K.

Valsa George June 24, 2026 at 10:35 PM Dear Sara, I agree. We meet with diverse experiences in life, both sad and joyful. Cling onto the sweet and forget the sad... ! Though difficult, it is the only way to make life easy and happy. Sara Kendrick June 25, 2026 at 4:11 AM Yes, I agree, Valsa. So much worry and misery could in life could be avoided if we could only let go. Satan will try to keep bringing those bad things up to us all the time in one way or another though. Sara K.
