Poetic Nostalgia

  
      Nostalgia is his life these days
         He thinks back to olden times ...

      There’s nothing to look forward to
          He’s even out of rhyme

discouraged, but never tire of writing....I too think of those 'olden' days....more often than I once did. Must be getting old, ha!

Hello Gershon, nostalgia can feel both comforting and heavy at the same time, in rhyme, sometime. Even when the future seems thin, memory still has its own kind of poetry within. Amen! Holiday, Blessings, Gershon, Daniel

Oh my! Never sever rhyme time! Look forward to the new generations…that is where my mind goes, but also that sooner than later I have to leave it all to them, hoping beyond hope that they live it right!! Hugs, sweet poet! Keep your chin up!
