This poems tell us about the pain of living in the past. It is true we have no do overs. So why not just get on with life and change the way you live and not let the past weigh you down.

Hope this did well in the contest.

Keep writing

Joan

One of my friends, years ago wrote this wisdom. "the chains that bind us are the chains that blind us." Hopefully, the reader will read this poem and reflect on the chains in their life. Hopefully, they will find from this declaration, why they suffer so. Hopefully they, you and I will heal a bit from this message. Well written. I am voting for this.

    If there is anything I can do to help let me know. As far as understanding trauma, which I'm sure may already know about, I'm enclosing my link about trauma. If you get an annoying ad, just X it out & your page will appear:

A profound comment on life. I find the sentiments a bit dark, but I write dark, too, on occasion, so that isn't a problem for me. The wording and the syllable format are good. A slight flow problem. All in all a nice poem.

This 5-7-5, Chains, has the correct formatting and finds the poet and reader wishing that life had been different. Life, however, allows change on a daily basis, and Memories c@n be both cherished and denied.

You've written an excellent 5-7-5 poem and entry for the contest
Those memories are often chains or sometimes wings
but it is true we can never change the past
only try to make the future better
Excellent picture to match
Well done
Good luck in the contest
RS

    Thank you kindly for this supportive review. I appreciate your time. This was easy for memories of a recent tragedy just won't let go. A wish to do over will never be fullflled.

So well illustrated. Love your poem. You did a perfect 5-7-5. I really like 'yesterday's chains ... memories'. It matches well with your chosen artwork.
Great work!

    Brigette, that is what I was thinking as I was reading through your beautiful poetry. I did not want to pry. I understand those tragic memories that chain you down in sorrows and regrets. Many prayers will I pray for you.
    Love, Gale
