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!
Life lessons in the classroom of experience
that rigid master of the developing soul
scratching the squeaking words on the dusty chalkboard
and our suffering in rapt silence at learning’s knee.
This was the teacher of old school unbroken
no empty vessel of propaganda barely from her teens
this was the strict icon of discipline and power
to inflict pain and reason on inattentive minds.
