Happy Friday, everyone! I have a short poem for you that I wrote this past semester. It's not inspired by a real person, but I wrote it because I liked the idea of someone collecting memories for a loved one who has passed away. If you know someone who does this or if you do this yourself, then this poem is for you.
Dedicated To You
Little bits and bobs
Added over time.
Movie stub.
Pressed flower.
Page from a book.
Newspaper clippings.
Key chains from around the
world.
You’ll never get to see these
things,
So I’ll bring them to this
space
That’s dedicated to you.
Great piece, Sara! Have a great weekend!

What a lovely poem! It's so short, but sometimes I think that's what makes a poem most poignant - when you can say what you mean with just a few lines :)
ReplyDeletexox,
Cee
What a sweet idea for a (and actual) poem! :)
ReplyDeleteAw what a cute little poem :)

I LOVE THIS POEM! bring more personal poetry to your blog, my love!
ReplyDeleteReally great Sara! I would suggest not sticking to the traditional sentences (eg. Movie Stub, Pressed / Flower. Page from a book) for a more unique cadence. Love it though :)

I totally do that. I have kept just about everything of a friend of mine that passed away. I also love to keep those little ticket stubs and things. I have binders to organize it all.
ReplyDeleteI also write random poems too. I really should document my poems but I also want them published and scared that if I post them on my blog that it might hinder me somehow.
Short and sweet with a lot of meaning :)
ReplyDeleteThanks!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you liked it! I don't know much about submitting poetry, but some places only want poetry that hasn't been seen anywhere else (ie. your blog).
ReplyDeleteThanks! Thanks for the construction criticism; I'll have to play around with it!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much!!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kristin!
ReplyDeleteExactly! That's why I'm a fan of haikus! Thanks, Cee!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Rena!!
