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!
Common sense tells us all that is known -
or, at least, what once was obvious.
But now it seems that reason has flown,
a thing of which most are oblivious.
For all that is up, we’re told is now down,
and ugliness become the new beauty.
I’m tired of a world that does nothing but frown,
and needs nought but a kick up its booty.
