Edit Poem

Editing Instructions

 Please note in the NOTES textbox below that this poem has been edited, do not put your name, please put as the following:
<!--EDITED by moderators on (Date) for (reasons).-->
DO NOT remove the line break ( <br /> ) html coding at the end of each line break, these are needed to form the correct lines.
THE CHEATIf you do not wish to delete a poem, or a certain part of a poem, and instead would like to send the url to Mick via PM for confirmation, enclose the entire poem (or part/s thereof) between <!--    and     --> (ie. <!--    POEM TEXT HERE     -->). This will still save the text, but will make it invisible from viewing (other than page source view). You could also add before the <!-- something to the effect of "This Poem under review".



The Lifted Latch This once warm vestibule chokes in its own embers
Only dust now flickers in the empty chambers
Footsteps echo footsteps that once were but are no more
Nothing but dry air scents the lost paradise

Cardboard boxes neatly stacked fill the last chapter
Life told in keepsakes and old faded photographs
I came to close the book, unwilling yet destined
The epilogue ridicules what the pages provided

Our existence is but a whisper in the dialogue of time
Fleeting as winter mist in the soul of the valley
History crammed into universal blink
A hallway of belongings to no longer belong

Eyes scout the shadows and the rubble of death
Replay the past through the warm vein of memory
Cool breeze strokes the cobwebs as dust fills the sky
The last page is written as the lifted latch falls

Notes


While every care is taken to ensure the general sites content is family safe, our moderators cannot be in all places; all the time. Please report poetry and or comments that are in breach of our site rules HERE (Please include poem title or url). Parents also please ensure that you supervise your children well when they are on the internet; regardless of what a site says about being, or being considered, child-safe.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
