Don't get me started on the difference between the lyricism of Ryan Tedder and that of Dan Reynolds Dan is a poet; I can point out at least one of ID's songs that has a perfectly symmetrical syllable count. Ryan leaves more up to the skill of his voice...
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 do I have a deadline? Why yes, I guess I do,
I think Iāve an appointment, unless itās āhopeā not āthink,ā
they say we all have dates, and that is likely true,
no written proof however - just feel Iām on the brink.
My arrival is recorded, itās date is on this form,
and other proofs as well, of them Iām not bereft,
certificates uncounted, both weird and of the norm
but nothing indicating the time that I have left.
Line count: 8
