Yesteryear

Youthful moments, fleeting 
      young love swoons from the past
             yellowed portraits remain
                  yesterday’s songs linger 
                      yet as life goes, we sail
                           years mark a fleet of days
                                 yielding to time and age.

Gary Radice Date: 10/13/2022 10:57:00 AM A bit of research tells me this form of poetry is only 23 years old. I'd never heard of this form but so glad I've come across it. "yesterday's songs linger.." Brilliant. Love this Laura. Each line separately - and as a whole - defines the title.

I’m glad you enjoyed this particular one I wrote! :)

Mark Massey Date: 10/6/2022 8:07:00 PM Y is my favorite of this group, yellowed portraits and yesterday’s song go well with an old couple like my wife Sharon and me. Login to Reply Laura Leiser Date: 10/6/2022 8:30:00 PM Glad you liked this one, Mark! I so admire your sonnet work, as well. :)
