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!
Yes, I sing in a high, clear voice,
a song for those in a tap dance,
rock music for mallets and hammers,
for me and my family are gifted
to ring out in sweet harmony,
but remember, oh smiting conductors,
it’s our faces you pound for the tune,
and erosion will do for us soon.
