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!
I love the sound of breaking glass,
the fourth wall descending in a shower of shards,
my arm reaching out to grasp your collar
and drawing you in to say boo in your face,
yet adding spice to your suspension of belief
as you become complicit in creation,
grinning with me in recognition
of deliberate interjection.

Prompt: Interjections.
Note: There is a chapter in my book The Gabbler’s Testament that is one long interjection or “breaking of the fourth wall.”
