    Blank

    Non-pictures of distant memories
    Vague images of years gone by,
    Scripted of writing on paper within time.

    For I am stronger then
    the little girl I once was.

    Words I cannot take back
    But only hold with me.

    Confused
    Entangled
    Like a renamed sentence,
    Read unclear.

    But purposely complex
    My life knew.

    That my blank page
    Is now written upon.

    I really don't think that the first 3 lines are needed for this poem's intent. They are just flowery words which the poem ends up restating anyway. A very power little poem about life's mark being made upon us as we live it. That's a fantastic statement that begins with: (I am stronger then the little girl I once was.) and then ends with: (That my blank page Is now written upon.) what more does the poem really need? A very poignant work. I love it. A poet friend// RH Peat

    Thank you for your comment. Also, relooking at it I kind of agree with you in regards to the first 3 lines. Thanks again.... :-)

    Mar/ it is a dynamite little poem that says a lot about just living life. And taking what it offers as you go. I love it. Thanx for sharing it. It says: get through the trauma and find the laughter in the cherished moment. A poet friend// RH Peat

    Comparing who you are now, to who you were then, is a strange process. Sometimes you can't even reconcile how the one became the other. You've conveyed the feeling well.

    Thank you very much for taking the time to read my poem. :-)

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
