Hello Jake,
I think this is one of your best poems from the last couple of years.
The aaab rhyme scheme is done very well, with some extra internal rhyme
and the extra b rhyme at the end.
Smooth meter reads very well and the theme is one many can relate to
with the memories blowing through the wonderful imagery.
Treasures to behold!
Well done.
Best wishes
Robert

Memories are what we create, so we have a way of reliving that which we treasured so much. Unfortunately, bad memories seep into there too. We have to learn how to pull the good ones forward more often.

I agree with the positive outlook of this poem. Pleasant memories from the past, lifts your spirit and often brings a smile to your face. It's best to forget about sad or disappointing memories. Those days are over and gone. Your poem is inspiring and motivational. Thank you.

Your lines express how important memories are to keep our minds young.
Best in the advice to get rid of those which don't serve you well as you get older.

A well controlled and structured poem. The traditional rhythm and rhyming couplets suit the poem's themes. It is refreshing to have a positive, optimistic poem!

I read a different rhyming scheme from your normal. Your last stanza ended with 2 lines in rhyme, is that typical or did it just make sense for this particular poem?
