RE: Steemit School Poetry 100 Day Challenge #69--Memories
Regards, appreciated poet!
I chose this poem for the exercise proposed by the teacher @d-pend, according to which we should comment on other poets for better interaction and recognition among peers.
Your poetry is familiar to me because I delight in it daily.
"Memories" is presented in two parts of free verse.
The first raises a number of reasons why the voice makes a complaint about itself by surrender to external seductions, reducing the value of their interiority. Sentence a return to the self-evaluation with self-deprecation for the abandonment and the consequent ignorance of itself, turning it into a virtual stranger.
You will pay homage to the you whom you ignored.
Whom you abandoned.
Whom you left by the wayside.
Here, in this cacophonous marketplace.
Where quacks peddled their wares.
The second piece is a self-invitation to review your own life to rediscover, recognize and empower yourself.
Flip through the forgotten pages of time.
Knowing that the inward things,
were the things that satisfied the you
I chose this poem because it speaks to me. As always, a good job that penetrates the interiority looking for answers.
Blessings, Nicholas. You always manage to shake our being with your poetry as deep as human.
Thanks for this indepth feedback. BTW, when is your book coming out?
