We would indeed be in a sad state of affairs w/o the luxury of air conditioning. I'm looking forward to the time of year when it isn't necessary (although in Texas, that window is short).
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!
Every poem should be,
as far as I can see,
a breath of fresh air,
a new creation fair,
a thing of new birth,
a jewel of great worth,
reopening our eye
to the what, where and why.
