The Pandora's Box

The Pandora's Box

 

In my garden of bittersweet memories

One will find a Pandora's box

My mind holds the key to the treasure chest

As my writing pen unlocks many mysteries

Of my life

Things I've kept hidden

Deep Inside

In poetry revealed

My soul on a journey

Of healing

In my garden of bittersweet memories

One will find a Pandora's box

I like the way you use Pandora's box as a metaphor for it is an eternal and classic image.
Your poem does it not only justice, by reading your poetry, we all are reminded of the fact that we all have a Pandora's box hidden somewhere.
I know I have, it will open one day ...
Thank you for writing this poem, it is very useful to me!

Oh yes, what we find when we do open Pandora's Box....the good, bad, and the ugly!...but, it is so very healing to allow it to happen!
It is wonderful the way you have taken a story we all know, and adapted it to life as it is!! It was only after I allowed myself to open the lid of my Pandora's Box, that I began to heal the many hurts that had invaded my life....that is when I started to spread my wings and fly!! We can fly, we can soar when we allow ourselves to be healed from the hurts of life!.....though they be tragic and so very painful!!
Beautifully written!!
With Friendship, Sheila

I found this to be very clever!

I really like how you repeated the first line at the end. I thought it fit nicely. :]

Wonderful job!

Always,

Love the title here. Finding the courage to talk about our pent up feelings or repressed emotions is probably one of the most healing of it's kind. Very well done!
