Thank you for that, Kiya - it's not many brave the wilds of my portfolio to discover my little 8-line poems, so it's wonderful to have some feedback on them. Much appreciated!
Wonderful poem that links footprints to bits and pieces of our memories over the years.
As we get older, we do leave a mark behind - footprints if you will - and even as they fade away, they'll always linger and be a reminder of what we once were.
Thanks for sharing this poignant piece with us, and keep on writing!
And you’d be miserable too
with his great cloak of pessimism
draped about your shoulders
and that crack of light insufficient
to illuminate your world.
Some poets are mere glowsticks
that need to be broken
before shedding any light at all.
