pain comes and go. memories last a lifetime. when we endear the pain we also endear the good ones. sometime its better just to let the pain endear the good ones so we can move on with our life. your poem was strong in such few words. thanks for the read. "your so vein" means mood or humor.

your so vein

Hello Linda, my friend this short and meaningful verse should resonate with lots of poets on this site; I know I can relate to it, for it is that burning that brings out the best of verses; the picture is perfect for the poem.

I really like your flash fiction poem and the wonderful art work that you have chosen.
It portrays such a strong message in so few words. Well done.

Hello!
A finely constructed 5/7/5 poem. The message is true for many memories, and I am certain that many can relate said message. I was expecting "minds" as opposed to "hearts." "Hearts" resonate with deep pain, indeed.

Best wishes!

Yes, I agree with your poem that it is sometimes difficult to put painful memories out of our minds. Your poem is an excellent reminder of this and something that many of us need to try to change (myself included).
What a great image you chose to accompany your message.
Thank you for sharing.
Connie

painful memories
never to be forgotten
burn within our hearts

This is definitely a truism. You are so right, sometimes those painful memories overwhelm us and seem to block out all the good things. I'm going through one of those instances at this time.

Thank you for sharing and I hope you have a great day.

Blessings
Janet

    Knowing God is with us everyday helps but during stressful times, it truly is my salvation. So happy that we share this common thread. You have a great evening too Linda.

w, Linda, I know what you mean, and they do for a while. The pain you get from those memories will stop and turn into memories that will put a smile on your face, it just takes a bit of time. Big hugs, and so much love, my dear friend. xxx Sandra xx

An a honest, succinct and powerful message. I would like to know more.. perhaps that adds intrigue to it, in which case the form is very suitable.

    you need to read the laws of reviewing on FanStory...you don't low star with no reason...and the reason why there is a written problem...such as spelling, etc...not personal...
    and this review makes no sense...the poem states there are painful memories in our hearts that burn(hurt,stab) forever...never to be forgotten...and that's the message in the poem...any other good poet knows...you do ask for personal life stories...that is no ones business unless the writer puts it in there...PLEASE go read the laws...you hurt people raking like that...love Linda xxoo thank you
