Memory Idyll

Posted on February 16, 2021 | 8 Comments

Rainbow umbrella

The grey days of winter crash and foam, one much like another. Memories sprout like tender green buds under a warm yellow sun. You thrived in spring, with your hands in the dirt, coaxing forth a rainbow of blossoms.

These empty blue rooms
Echo my silent crying
I miss you, Mommy…

    Hmm… try commenting again. I swear WP is messing with us…

    All the rules for the type of poem, then all the prompt rules… that’s a lot of work.

    This is a beautiful piece that gave me sad feels☹💙🌈
