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!
And do I have a deadline? Why yes, I guess I do,
I think I’ve an appointment, unless it’s “hope” not “think,”
they say we all have dates, and that is likely true,
no written proof however - just feel I’m on the brink.
My arrival is recorded, it’s date is on this form,
and other proofs as well, of them I’m not bereft,
certificates uncounted, both weird and of the norm
but nothing indicating the time that I have left.
Line count: 8
