All Comments on 'The Days Of My Life'

Beautiful, and sad, and lovely, and some more, I do not have the words for.

I think we all have memories that stick with us, so clear and precise. Some good, some not so much. Yet we never put them into words like you did. Nicely done.

Thank you so much for the kind comments!

Your observations are spot on!

I wanted this to be like an optical illusion kind of poem to be read over more than once. I’m going to give my model for this piece only to shake up the snow globe but still knowing the flakes settle back down to your observed sad memories:

1st stanza, JFK assassination. 2nd, MLK assassination. 3rd, moon landing. 4th, fall of Berlin Wall. 5th, Challenger Disaster.
