Thank you for that, Kiya - it's not many brave the wilds of my portfolio to discover my little 8-line poems, so it's wonderful to have some feedback on them. Much appreciated!
Wonderful poem that links footprints to bits and pieces of our memories over the years.
As we get older, we do leave a mark behind - footprints if you will - and even as they fade away, they'll always linger and be a reminder of what we once were.
Thanks for sharing this poignant piece with us, and keep on writing!
We still think of her, you know,
her disappearance a heck of a blow -
lost forever in the mighty Pacific,
and a legend that’s quite magnific.
A skeleton on little Nikumaroro
(less populated than ancient Bordeaux)
might be hers and some think it’s so,
but the truth we’ll not ever know.
Line count: 8
Rhymed aabb (well, you try finding a rhyme for Nikumaroro)
