Interesting look at the past. Yes our memories can be treasured or best forgotten. I think best to try and remember the good times and perhaps count our lucky stars for overcoming dangerous situations. Lovely portrait of the 'thinking mannequin.' With her looks she would have been fortunate. Good work!

When it comes down to it, memories are something that belongs to only us. Good or bad we meet with memories on a spur of a moment. Even if we weren't searching for them, there they are. Hopefully, we have more good ones than bad ones. Very well written.

This is a wonderful poem, with things I have thought about myself. This poem really resonated with me. I love the line about tripping too many times to forgive. We all have those fears. Your image is perfect for this poem also. Very good writing, beautiful flow.

Such memories of the past, good or bad, is what has made us who we are. Many of us are in the same boat. And we question ourselves. A really lovely, well written free verse. The cadence is smooth and calming Very nice!

My friend, Linda, this is a most wonderful poem! My favorite line is:
"of a thousand single steps of memories made". The picture really grabs the reader, also. At our age we have made so many memories, I have had to discard the bad ones and cling to the good ones. This is a fabulous piece of work, lady! Stay away from the coronavirus! Linda

A beautiful free verse reflection, Linda! Loved your expression, "mannequin of moments" and the pensive thoughts about memories of the past. But I especially love that you resolve the questions with:
"it is all my memories lived
that made me who I am"
Yes, God's doing all the writing of our lives and He loves and forgives and is in control!

Your moving, descriptive poem is nostalgia at its best. Yes, when we visit the past, sweet scenes come back--but we all have those memories we'd just as soon forget. ALL those memories are who we are.
