Thanks for the memories...

The Cheshire Cat 2003-10-21 13:47:25 ET brought down the old box from the attic sat with you on the floor and shuffled the memories here's one from a more magical time, or so they say faded and yellowed stained with tears and coffee put back, away up to the attic again so sorry you had to go too soon, or so they say

squee! 2003-10-23 05:20:38 ET I like it's simplicity. :)

SaraSidel 2003-10-23 06:07:44 ET very good. reminds me of...well we won't go there, but it's good :)

The Cheshire Cat 2003-10-23 06:10:59 ET thing is, I didn't know the person was dead until the end of the poem. I like the way things come together like that.

pixi 2003-10-23 06:55:54 ET i like it - everyone can relate to this time. it's tragic in it's quiet way - a moment that every person remembers. the many times that they shift through the memories that they used to hold close - like you told me in your comment about my latest entry - dont let those memories go. and like me, those boxes sit around, waiting to be reopened. i like this poem. it captures a familiar time. solemn and not to be forgotten.

The Cheshire Cat 2003-10-23 07:00:39 ET Thank you Pixi, I'm glad you like it.

UnLabeled 2003-10-23 08:55:53 ET I wrote alot like that in high school, but it's been a while, and i haven't written in a while. I like it though, i do, it's really like pixi said, something people can relate to. Look forward to reading more =)

theorbitumii 2003-10-23 15:48:29 ET It reminds me of how I felt five years after my dad died, when I realized what was going on. I was calm that day but there was still some presence of grief under the surface. It also brought up thought of my best friend that died last month, i usually get so wrapped up with work that in a way I forget. It's nice to see guys write, especially when it has meaning. looking forward to seeing more. =) Z-ster

Atlas 2003-10-23 15:59:38 ET im going to have to agree. simple and understandable
