Remembering

[Wildcard]

Crikey Moses, Mark --good opening line. It engages the reader with a purposeful, albeit oddball choice of words. Think about editing 'Mark' to 'village idiot'
.....I think that your response (with a few edits) is a beautiful piece of poetry....may we have some of that in this poem, pretty please. --overstepping your boundaries here. I'd replace 'may we have' with 'put' and swap 'pretty please' for your favorite expletive + 'it'
ps That Mr. Vedder is one mean poet.--he is my hero

How memories fade (I just writ, this! - now you can get your revenge..)

Yesterday slips away too fast,
escapes my desperate, feeble grasp.
Past thoughts fade into a misty cloud
elusive, transitory, lost in time.
Quick, bright flashes
butterfly around
settling and fluttering
as they touch my mind
But, too brief. Soon gone.
Turned to ash
leaving a sharp darkness behind
an emptiness where stored-up memories
should reside.

Gosh I really love your poem dude. No crit at all. :p
