Melt Into A Memory

Feeling pretty vague..

As we look back on the past, on the battles and wars

On the strong iron gates, and the large wooden doors

To the kings and the queens, forever at court

Onwards to the castles, the bridges and forts

Back to the lush green pastures and bountiful trees

Where people danced and feasted, doing as they please

At last we arrive to the ocean and sea

As all these things melt into a memory

Author's Note

I like history way too much. You like?

Indeed history is a fun and interesting subject, that I too much enjoy. Your poem is short, but it captures many delights that history contains and truly shows you love for it. If I may be so bold, a couple of lines in the middle have a wonky musicality, but other than that, the imagery is strong, the narrative is moving, there are numerous juicy lines. Simply well done!!

Nicely done… it certainly rolls off the tongue and stimulates the mind.
History personal and worldwide molds who we are now as individuals and as mankind.

[Miranda Richard]

Agreed! History is very powerful. I'm just glad I could portray it well... thank you for the review :)

I love how you started it off! 'As we look back on the past, on the battles and wars' it's my favorite part of the hole poem!

Psh, I don't think that you can like something 'too' much. And yes, I liked it. It has a cool retrospective vibe to it that took me back to my high school medieval history class.

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed :)
