Perfect Memories.

Perfect Memories.

Picture perfect memories dance inside my mind.
Like a ballerina at the finale drifting back in to time.
So mesmerizing they are, keeping me in a trance,
swirling before me like blue jays- in an April shower dance.

Smiling to myself, but yet everyone can see me,
Wondering if I have a mental defect, once I start giggling.
Memories of humorous times- tend to make me laugh out-loud.
Those are the things that I'll keep with me for the rest of my aging life.

Oh those memories are just what I need sometimes,
Especially when I'm feeling down, lost, or without a friend.
They keep me working and striving to achieve all goals,
And displays the promises of the end.

    Letty, very nice. The only thing that threw me was the way you started and ended with a rhyming pattern and ditched it in the second stanza. It's not a bad thing, and it just threw me off a bit.

    You opened the poem with an -amazing- metaphor. I love it, and I can't stress that enough. And you wrapped it up nicely at the end. Great job; I don't even need to tell you that you're talented because it's just so blatantly obvious.

    This poem is very deep and i like that. You made it personal. I think that going back to memories can help us remember who we were or still are. I also like how it was just the right length. You didnt make it to long, i think it would have taken away from the simplicity of it. Great vocabulary as well!
    Well done!
