What a delightful poem about befuddled memories. I does make you smile as you read it. It the chance and clever word associations that make it work so well. Excellent series of alliterations and in- line rhyming and assonance. Very creative. Well done!

Thank you so much, Tom. for this lovely review! It's strange, I was thinking of you today, that I hadn't seen you on here for a little while. I have been so busy at home, I haven't done very much writing. I hope you and your wife are well. :) Sandra.

Delightful. The picture fits the poem well. When I read this poem, I envision a carefree, happy soul who always has a smile on her face. It reminds me of my grandmother. What a fun read!

Hi Sandra
This is an amusing poem and so well written with excellent rhyme, rhythm,flow and good alliteration and internal rhyming too. This conveys the happy state of a dear old lady who who enjoys taking little `trips' away from the hustle and bustle of life, and especially down memory lane! The picture fits perfectly. A fun read!!
God bless,
love Christine :)

You're welcome Sandra :)
I've been busy in many ways, including getting to the final stages with my 2nd book. I really miss reviewing and while busy,I'm always thinking of when I can get to spend a good bit of time reviewing again. xx

Hello there~!
This truly was fun to read. It's very well-written, and I loved how you turned it into a humorous piece. I loved the alliteration in 'a mystical, magical, musical sound.'
Great Job~!
JazakAllah Khair~!
(God Bless~!)

Memories may fail as we get older, better yet, they may bring on smiles. This is very well written with a smooth flow of words. You're poem is well written.

Comment from Just Pete
A most amusing poem. Nicely rhymed and a great choice or wording. The final stanza is a perfect ending.
"Today didn't happen so why should I care?
Tomorrow? Who knows? I might not be there!
But yesterday beckons me back with a smile,
So sorry, I'm gone...I'll be back in a while."
Certainly deserves its recognition. Pete

Thank you so much, Pete. I am getting too close to start worrying about it, so this is my idea of how I will take it! LOL. (hopefully it won't happen!) xsx Sandra
Comment from Selina Stambi
I love the kind and gentle humour in these lines, Sandra.
It puts a smiling, sweet face on an ugly disease.
Love the internal rhyme and sprinkle of alliteration.
Your mother-in-law was your inspiration for this piece, wasn't she?
Hope your knees are coming along nicely, my dear friend.
Hugs and kisses,
Always,
Sonali xxx

Thank you so much, Sonali. Yes, she was, I will be seeing her later. My knee is getting better, I see improvement every day, which is a relief. Thank you for caring. :) Hugs back, xsx sandra
Comment from humpwhistle
ah, Sandra I vaguely remember reading this poem yesterday.
I;m positive I reviewed it. Gave it a 3 if I recall. But today it seems twice as good. Perhaps it's because my lumbago is numbago today. What was I saying?
Oh yes, Aunt Mildred is coming for a visit. She's not the dead one, I hope. Do dead people need a toilet? I'd hate to share a toilet with a dead person. They become zombies, you know?
this is hilarious, Sandra. I'm especially impressed with your internal rhymes. Especially the verbs.
Oh, and especially the verbs, Mildred.
Yipes!
Peace, Lee

Comment from Delahay
It sounds like your memory takes you to places you've never been. Unless you did, at one time, consort with pixies and elves of course. But no matter, it sounds like your memory is having a lot of fun somewhere so maybe we should just leave it alone to carry one.
