Poem: Forgetting

[alee_grrl]

I was feeling the need to write today. So I headed over to napowrimo to check out today's prompt. Turns out it was one that struck a cord. :) I liked the etheree format so much I decided to write another one. So here's my first poem in celebration of National Poetry Month.

Forgetting

Drift
away
memory.
Stop haunting me.
Why is it that I
can forget where I last
set my keys or a needed
word? The location of my car
eludes me. But you, you, are right there.
Always. Let go. Free me from your embrace.

Ooooh. That's a really nice format for this poem. ^-^ And apparently I'm still stuck in "give really short feedback" mode. :/ But I do like this. I like the way it builds up and the way the lines work with it. It's got a lovely stacato effect at the beginning and then it branches out into something a bit more fluid. It's a really lovely effect.

And the sentiment is such a powerful one. <3

Any feedback is very much appreciated!

So glad you enjoyed this one. I've had a lot of fun playing with the etheree format. This one really worked great with that format.
