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!
I’ve never heard a nightingale
at least, I wouldn’t know,
as their prevailing tale maintains
they sing on high not low
and being far beyond my sight
I’d have no clue indeed
whose song it be on that dark night,
which bird my ear it feeds.
Line count: 8
Rhymed abab (but see Note)
For Express It In Eight, 03.04.25
Prompt: “Ode to a Nightingale” by John Keats.
Note: I have cheated slightly on the rhyme scheme in the third line. The rhyme is there but it’s internal instead of at the end.
