    Thanx so much for your review on this shortie, my lady... always glad to pass along a smile!! ;) :) And I apologize for the delay, but with the hours at the store (crazy time of year!!) and getting ready for Christmas, I've been away from the computer longer than usual! ;-) :-) You take care out there and Merry Christmas! ;) Yvette

Hi Yvette,
This is a well written and illustrated poem. The poem and your notes tell a strange truth about how memories seems to work.
Keep writing and stay healthy
Congrats on placing second in the contest.
Merry Christmas.
Joan

I love the idea of sharp shards piercing and pinning memories to the notice board of life, those shattered pieces can't possibly be put back together I feel, beautifully written dear Yvette, well done, blessings Roy

    Thanx so much for 'getting' this one, Sir Roy... in reading you comments, I think as we get a bit into 'older years', this one takes on some real meaning, yeah? :) :) And I apologize for the delay, but with the hours at the store (crazy time of year!!) and getting ready for Christmas, I've been away from the computer longer than usual! ;-) :-) You take care out there and Merry Christmas! ;) Yvette

It seems crazy blonde's are smart thinkers.
A short, targeted and on the mark 242 poem.
It's such a shame with age we also seem to forget to remember.
Cleverly written, precise and a pleasure to read.
Blessings
Shirley

Beautiful presentation. The artwork and your words come together perfectly. It is strange how we remember some things so vividly and others totally disappear. I like the use of time's veil. Best of luck in the contest. I may be looking at a winner here. judi

    You're very welcome. I do most of my shopping online now. So many of our department stores have gone out of business. I thought I was having trouble with my computer and couldn't do anything on it all day yesterday. Someone figured out it was b because I hadn't been doing the updates. I did them, and it's been working fine today. judi

Hey Yvette.
Even people not looking for metaphorical meaning of a poem we'll get slapped right across the face with this one. The meaning is very clear and is superbly stated. Good job and good luck in the contest.

You have used stunning metaphors in this tiny poetic form, Yvette! Loved the "shards" of memories and "time's veil". The past keeps getting obscured by the veil of time and sometimes by the rewriting of history by memory. Best wishes in the contest!

I agree with you, Yvette, we find ourselves in dark places and yet when we count our blessings and bring up good memories, we can pull ourselves out of a slump.

Yvette,

This is an amazing 2-4-2 poem. The three lines are very powerful and speak volumes. It's amazing the way words are presented that give them the power or not.

Well done my friend

Cecilia

Nicely penned 2-4-2 poem.

I prefer the brighter side of your image(ry). You are not THAT crazy. LOL

Your last line is a real gem!

IMHO this entry will garner you votes in the contest.
