Comment from Therese Caron
This poem is wonderful - very thought provoking. I love the second to the last stanza - dense entropy. I also love the style you write in. Different and interesting. Great image to accompany your poem,

Thanks, Janet. In this case, the truth did not sting. LOL Doug
Comment from royowen
I wrote a poem last week spurred by the faces of those victims of the Aussie bushfires, which precipitated other works of summing up what earthy treasures actually mean, although scripture sums it up nicely with, "Store not your treasures on Earth where moth and rust doth corrupt, and thieves break in and steal, but store up your treasures in Heaven where moth and..." I used memories in another poem. Sorry for the deviation, just a reflection. Beautifully written, blessings Roy

No apologies necessary, Roy. I virtually always enjoy your insights, and if not-I still learn from them. Doug

Comment from estory
I loved it. Too bad I ran out of sixes for this. I really liked the opening, that stanza 'Colors/Memories/ Order' the listing that creates this abstract expressionist vision of experience. Also liked 'only the past lingers, Ever present' I liked this blending of the experiences of present experience and the memory of experience into one moment. deep concepts here. A wonderful poem of philosophy behind the experience of living. estory

Hi Victor, This is such a reminder of things that are going on around me in my life just now, or at least if feels that way. My parents are getting old and my father's forgetting things, and it seems to be happening more quickly than we expected. Those layers are peeling away. Sooner than we want, I'm afraid there will be mostly just the early ones left.

I know. I'm sorry. You will reflect more and more on life and its ever-present unfairness. However, you probably will arrive at a more Zen like existence whenever you can decompress. Wishing you the best, Doug.

I really enjoyed reading this poem. The stanzas were creative and memorable and you have really set the scene which the reader easily glides into. Great work!

This is a well written and constructed poem, though a sad state of affairs, yet it is a wonderful definition/explanation of such a state of being. giovanni

Hello Doug, this is very well written - full of wisdom. Nothing ever lasts, except memories and the past. How well you have put this in your poem. 'Only the past lingers ever present' - so true, and good us of alliteration with the letter 'P'. Good use of metaphor in 'Happiness resides within my room'. A really good, thoughtful poem and enjoyable read. Regards Dorothy x

Thank you, Dorothy. I had mixed feelings about posting this. It cannot, naturally, appeal to everyone. I did paint the pic though. LOL Doug
