Very interesting to follow your stream-of-consciousness thought processes here, Curt. Your poem is an auditory feast for anyone reading it aloud! Love the internal rhyming and the occasional assonance ("scars that last")- gutsy! occasionally verging on contrived ("into my mouth as I turn south") but you JUST managed to avoid being corny - whew! :)Sharyn

Thanks Sharyn,
I try not to be corny in anything but my verbal skills. (lol)
I'm so glad you didn't think so of this piece, and appreciate your kind thoughts and generous stars.

I appreciate the risks you took with this piece, Curt. You've ended up with a fine write ... but sooooooooooo close at times, it made me nervous! Well done!

I DO push the envelope from time to time...:>)

Mmmm...after conferring with my expert orator, who says, "Yes, every time you open your mouth," I have to abide by my original statement. :>)
Comment from IndianaIrish
We think we have past memories of our hurts and pains neatly sealed away, but they sure know how to escape without our help. They invade our daydreams and nightmares and each time it gets more difficult to put them back where they belong.
Great reading your work again, Curt.

Thanks so much Indy,
I truly appreciate the fact that you like reading what I scribble down, it makes the arduous chore (yeah, right!)tolerable.
(Did you notice the sarcasm in that?) :>)

I enjoyed reading this piece. I think it's well written, very colorful with great care to detail. It appears that you are dealing with hurts and pain from your past. All I can say, is to turn your life over to God and let Him take you where He wants. Good job.

"How proudly they parade in gaudy colors crimson laced
to radiate so fiercely from the fears I haven't faced"
Those are my favorites in this well crafted poem. You are an artisan in words, sir. As nicely out together as a fine watch.
A six if I had one.

Hello Curt. Thank you for sharing your poem based on re-surfaced memories once thought forgotten. You effectively captured my own thoughts on the subject as well. Your choice of words like ourselves as the vessel and scars within us in the form of blacks and greys provide vivid imagery into what lurks in-between. Thanks again and Cheers.

A lovely and well penned verse. Haunting memories so neatly kept and reviewed. Interesting picture adds to your lovely presentation.
"but scattered dusty memories and used up yesterdays". An enjoyable, thought provoking piece. Robin :)

I loved the pictures this poem brough to mind. They were vivid and haunting, but I do feel like it would read better with some commas and punctuation. Just my opinion

Thank you my friend.
You are not the first to comment on my lack of punctuation. I will have to see if I can add some to resolve this issue.
Again, many thanks,
Curt

Hello there! Loved your strong simile at the beginning as it expresses power in the thoughts and gives off wonderful imagery. A beautiful start. Our thoughts always have a thing for returning to us, no matter how much we wish to forget sometimes:-) Thank you for sharing this strong and interesting piece of well crafted poetry:-) Shenel

Thank you Shenel, and hello there yourself!
Yes, our thoughts, good, bad, or indifferent,always seem to come back on us, kinda like a bad bean burrito.
Sincerely,
Curt

Your poem about forgotten thoughts that creep back into our dreams, creating nightmares based on past events is poignant. Your choice of rhyme scheme, alliteration and couplets make your well-penned poem flow.
