Rich's Chain Poem
by Richard Reed Jr
copyright 04-24-2008


Age Rating: 7 to 127

 
The years of yesterday have all flown by

I watched as they slid by my window pane
This young and foolish man could not contain
His yesterdays from going up in smoke
I promised you a boat ride down the Seine
So many promises I made and broke
And as I lived my life like some bad joke
Our bright dreams turned to dark without a glance
My head was much too high stoned on coke
I limply stood while you fell in a trance
As if with my own hand I turned you gray
Now winter covers you where now you stay
And the years of yesterday are as today
And the years of yesterday are as today

Ricky - As always your words are magic. You are indeed a master with the pen. Alas, though many of the years of yesterday are with us today, isn't it great that some are long gone? So many promises, hopes, and dreams are yet to came, my dearest.................xo Juney

Such a moving, emotional piece. How true that our years flash by like one of those old-fashioned movies, and the older we get the faster they go. The mood reminds me of "Glennoch Fell" a piece I did a few years ago for PnP. The sharp memories of youth, the stark reality of old age. Short but to the point and wonderfully done. Thanks, Rich.

I'm not sure I understand why it was important to end each line with the letter denoting the rhyme scheme. Equally, I'm not sure I understand why, if it was necessary, it needed to be in caps. As I read your sadly moving piece, the ending information was distracting. It must have been important because you titled it so, but did give us the real title, I think, as the opening line.

All of that to one side, considering it poetic license which I'm too dense to understand, I liked this write very much. Short, but packed with imagery and emotion that was palpable.

A very nice weaving, Rich! ^^
