All Comments on 'Precious, broken, spare'

Very nice;

It takes but little bits of thought

To resurrect a memory whole;

Felt like I was there with you

From a time so long ago...

I am so impressed by your language, and your handling of it. How spare and essential it is, marching always on. How gently you allude, always on theme.

The only thing I question is the colon. I do not thing it appropriate, and certainly not necessary. Why not a period?

Wonderful reading.

The trip to England threw me a bit at first, but it works among the total fabric. This poem has a slightly "off the beat" rhythm and is all the stronger thereby.

You've perfectly captured the nature of memory. Well done. ~Imp
