with scars that last from days gone past in hues of blacks and greys.

This poetry flows nicely. The rhymes are perfect and make
it easy to read. It holds the reader's attention from
start to finish. Thank You for your creation.

Your poem is really well-written Curt with excellent rhythm and rhyme! Forgotten thoughts (particularly hurts) do like to resurface and try to linger if given the chance.

In the last line of your first stanza, perhaps
"what seem (like) dreams to some ...." etc.

There is excellent imagery and use of metaphors throughout this excellent piece!

Thanks for sharing :)

Christine

    Thank you Christine,
    I am truly honored to receive a six from you.
    I thought of that change, but in the reading, I wanted something just a bit different from the normal "like."
    I hope it still works for you, and again, many thanks.

This flows down the page like sweet honey, dear Ab. Such extraordinary talent you have for making it all flow, rhyme and come together in a perfect meter! (Slant rhymes are great as well.) Yes, the thoughts are always there, slightly beneath the surface. Exceptional! xo, Dais~

There is so much truth in this well-crafted poem. It's amazing when we allow thoughts to roam unbridled through our minds, especially the not so good ones and believe they are fleeting. Often, they are not! I'm glad you touched on this subject, because I realized a long time ago that if you don't put bad thoughts to rest when they surface they will come back to haunt you at the most inopportune time. Thanks for sharing a very pertinent piece, I enjoyed reading it!

This is a wonderfully crafted poem. A very poignant story told about some extreme memories. 'wounds that sit on shelves in broken jars'. Goodness what imagery! Throughout the poem you have used these visuals with brlliant effect.The poem flows so smoothly.

Alliteration and the internal rhymes weave your thoughts into beautiful metaphors. My favorite:
"contained inside the cobalt tide that no one vessel keeps
what seems are dreams to some become the nightmares while I sleep." Awesome! Les
