Evelyn Judy Buehler Poet Dizain

Notes About The Poem

The Past Grows Dreamy

Inside our minds time often flows backward,
To rich sparkling treasures we left behind,
But the memories become somewhat blurred,
In a landscape where purple mists purblind.
There we find old gold, because time is kind
To the woman in the shoe with children,
Fading slow with Alice in Wonderland,
And Humpty Dumpty, from the wall fallen.
And old loves and those we knew beforehand,
Not to mention past sudden joys unplanned!

Sam Kauffman February 15, 2022 at 10:58 AM "Time often flows backward," "purple mists purblind," "we find old gold" - absolutely delightful expressions of memory in technicolor. I am always taken by your use of color. These expressions are especially unique all against the backdrop of favorite nursery rhymes - songs that sing of childhood. Congratulations on your win! So wonderful to see this creative treasure on the winners list. Sending you many blessings! Evelyn Judy Buehler February 15, 2022 at 11:07 AM You're so kind. Thank you for your wonderful, joy inspiring comments and blessings. Have a lovely day, my friend. :)

Kim Rodrigues January 31, 2022 at 3:20 PM How many children learn nursery rhymes today. I think they’ve rewritten them. The line: In a landscape where purple mists purblind. Evelyn Judy Buehler January 31, 2022 at 4:28 PM It's fascinating to ponder who invented those beloved rhymes. Thank you for your gratifying appreciation. :)
