Reminisce

Days gone by
Lost in time
Favorite memories you hold on to
Songs that trigger past feelings and desires
Friends that came and went
Opertunities missed and passed up
Regrets that haunt your mind
Feelings of emptiness

Anger that lingers
Love that lasts
Pictures of days gone by
Why did it have to go so fast?

Search your mind for all the good moments, bad moments, and moments you will never soon forget
Search you mind for all it is you hated and now miss
Search your mind for your mistakes, because it is those which have made you who you are.

Forget it all
Today is a new day
Let go and embrace the future
Memories are only memories.

My first writing posted on here. I'm not very good, but I figured why not give it a try.

well the emotions are sincere,
though i dislike the flow, you should pick your words more carefull, or arrange them otherwise

''''Opertunities'' is wrong i believe it is ''''Opportunities''''

Wow i love the second verse, i really do,
Makes me wonder how long your writing!

In the third verse i would break up the lines, they are to long, harder to read then the rest, it doesnt fit, though the sentences are perfect! just arrange them differently, but well that is my opinion, and mine isnt always good!

the end is very strong!

Like the 3rd stanza, Nicely written

I like the fact that this first poem you put up is freestyle! Anyways, looking at structure, I found it interesting that each stanza varies slightly in the way you structure it internally. In terms of rhetoric, nice use of anaphora in stanza three to emphasize the reminisce or the mind. Also I like how stanza two's rhetorical question flows into stanza three as a use there. Nonetheless, this was quite an interesting poem with a nice aboveboard theme and purpose. Thanks for sharing!
