Key

Key hidden deep within the dark past. A key to unlock the past or to shut it away.

Key

Cobwebs, light the attic

A window, a pin prick of a hole,

let’s in kisses of sunlight

Speckles of dust everywhere

 

The air heavy

Full of weighted pasts

Smells of musty

Molded old pages of a diary book

 

Cluttered and cram packed

Glazed with dirty and dust

Upon the once scot free

Floor

 

A key hidden

To unleash the past

Or to lock it away

Hidden key

This has a wonderful symbolic meaning to it I believe. I think it means we all keep our deep dark secrets lock away in the atiic of the mind, and we hide it away so no one else can see... I love this piece because I have done this alot in my life. To keep from being hurt and suffering... I think this poem is one of my favorites from you Chels I love this so. Great Job!

Its true that we do keep things locked away for an amount of time, but I also look at this poem and see the attic, the window with the key hole, the books lying all around. It would make me want to escape to my own world filled with imagination and hope overall. Makes me think of the weekends that I would spend sitting in my room reading a good book not wanting to put it down because I would be so enthralled with the authors writing.

'glazed with dirty and dust'. Dirty should be: 'dirt'

A silent, inspiring poem about old memories. Nicely written. Thanks for sharing.

I have a lot of thing put away. Better out of site and out of memory. A very strong poem. Most of us will have our private things for few to see and touch. I like the emotion and the ending to this outstanding poem.

Great visual of a dusty little attic. Has an interesting message about the past and what you chose to do with it. Great job.

[Heather D]

such a simple concept youve taken and turned into a wonderful poem :) my only suggestion is the you say "glzaed with dirty and dust". the word dirty threw me off...perhaps the word dirt or a synonym would flow better? great job :)

[Jim Parson]

Wow! This is really good...I think one of your better pieces. It conjures up a strong visual, both in sight and metaphor. Well done!

(The "let's" in the first stanza needs no apostrophe. It isn't an abbreviation.)
