I just love your work. Probably your biggest fan. You make rhyming seem so natural, not trite as I've read in others' work, and this one has the special twist of that last line of every stanza holding the same rhyme. Beautiful piece. Thanks as always for this coffee break.

Your poem speaks to my heart. As we get older, we have so many memories that flow through our minds. How nice to be able to sort them out, remember the good and toss away the back.

I like the use of this somewhat unusual aaabb rhyme scheme. It has a nice rocking rhythm to it, and your images of the hazy fog in the trees is perfect for creating this sense of the old memories hazily coming to light in memory. Sorting the good from the bad is something else that we all do with memories. estory

"Past Memories" was well written rich in Theme and Imagery.
It also, read well and Flowed well with no Grammar Issues.
The Adjective and Objective Contents were both Excellent and Exceptional, while Descriptive Measures aligned Perfectly.
Thanks for sharing this and have a great day.

well, a 6 for you!
I smiled through the whole thing - loved your meter and your words - much deserving of All Time Best. I love the first two lines of the third verse, especially. Very pleasurable!

Life is laced in experiences and memories of which could be good or bad. Your poem points out the beauty of discarding the bad memories and retain the good ones. Thanks for sharing from your wisdom's pot. Well enjoyed.
