Hello everyone. Good evening from my end. In today's discussion I'm going to share one of the poems (about "Memories") I wrote for NaPoWriMo earlier this April (National Poetry Writing Month). Though I thought I should write at least one poem every day during the month of April, due to other responsibilities I was able to write only about 20 poems. No regrets. I'm happy about it. Here goes my poem. ~ Memories ~  Memories are flowers. They get dwindled with time, yet, their fragrances  keep lingering within us. Memories are rain showers. Either they pose as  a pleasant surprise, or a displeasing  revelation. Memories are stars. Though they are not seen all the time, we can't deny the fact they exist, day and night. Memories are fleeting clouds. Though they are transient, they drift across our sky  and make it beautiful  with their sheer presence. Memories are the Sun. They instantly invigorate and optimistically charge  us to proceed in life. Memories are the Moon. The mere presence soothes our heart and gently revives to serenity. Memories are coffee. A few are clearly strong  and some are vaguely light. Memories are wind chimes. We never know when a breeze  passes through, and creates a beautiful symphony of  clinking rings. Memories are the old photographs. Revisiting them adds a new  dimension each time. Memories are a flickering bulb. They give light in darkness, yet, also, make the bright  situation murkier. Memories are shadows. When the past events block the present time, they become  visible in our thoughts. Memories are a built-in time drive.  They smoothly transport us  back to the phase, allowing  us to relive the moment through the divine essence. Memories are the six unique flavours. Each of them adds to the recipe  and makes it a fulfilling one. Memories are memories. Each of them unique, woven intricately to shape our thoughts and life. ©Twinkle Hope you loved reading my poem. Please do share your thoughts. I would be happy to read them.  Also, please share what you would compare memories with (like I've done in my poem). Share your creativity. I'm eagerly awaiting here to read yours.  Thank you. Have a great day.  Image credit: Google

It's a good poem? Memories linger like scent in the air, Moments once lived, now quiet and rare. Laughter and tears in a photo frame, Echoes of love, never quite the same? memories are something we can be fond of when we are alone when we are sad when we miss?

It's a good poem. Memories are fleeting things that they llinger a moment or so once we become melancholic and downtrodden. They enliven us when good and deserving deeds are reminisced.
