Linda,
I love/hate this poem. I think I love it because it's very vivid, you know? And then I hate it because I can relate. I suppose everyone, pretty much will be able to.
If you'll permit, I wonder if you could make it even more powerful by upping the ante a bit and then tying the first and third lines together -- something like:
painful memories
never to be forgotten
burn within our hearts
vs.
burning memories
never to be forgotten
seared onto our hearts
Anyway, a striking piece. You put me right there with you this time. Sending cuddly hugs --
t:)t !!

I really liked this poem because of the truthfulness in its words. Most everyone who has reached adulthood has painful memories they must live with. I like the image you chose as well, it fits with the poem. Thanks for sharing.

Comment from Gulbahar Sidhu
Hi
Painful memories are indeed, most difficult to erase. The better way is to accept them and go on in life as a better and stronger person.
Lovely poem, hauntingly beautiful.
Congratulations.

Comment from Mame
Poignancy and pain are 'married' so perfectly in this work. What a touching photo. Those painful memories are truly 'etched within our hearts'and your verse is a perfect picture. Seems life is sad but 'beautifully sad.' Well done!

Linda,
How poignantly penned are your words in this short, but compelling write. The scars of our past help mold us into our future. Good or bad they do seem to stay etched into our soul. The picture is perfect my friend. I love to sit on my porch while it rains, especially if it's a thunder storm. Take care my friend. God bless

Comment from trumby
An excellent poem. Very true and lot of readers can relate, including me. And I must say that this painful memories are holding us from moving on and creating more beautiful memories. Thanks for sharing your beautiful thoughts.

Comment from Val Crisson
This is so sad Linda, because these painful memories can stop us from going on with our lives. I have one suggestion, I would move the first line to the middle, and the middle line to the first. I think it would improve the structure of this piece, but as always it's the poet's choice. Hugs
