A little poem on the 'apparent' cardinal sin of using the word 'Memories' in poetry
UNWANTED MEMORIES


Memories lovely memories, are the things I like to show

For the memory of my memories is the place I love to go

I’m reminded to remember to have kept them in their place

But forgot I should remember not to have them in this case

All the memories I forgot I should have wrote them down before

But I'll forget to just remember that these memories you abhor

I’m forgiven for forgeting that you told me not to use

But I remember that my memories are the thing I’m not to choose

If my memory does remember then I’ll leave them out next time

If I forget that I remembered then my memories in this line

Do you remember if your memories of the things you want to say

Could forget that all these memories can't be used in Poet-ray?
