Don't get me started on the difference between the lyricism of Ryan Tedder and that of Dan Reynolds Dan is a poet; I can point out at least one of ID's songs that has a perfectly symmetrical syllable count. Ryan leaves more up to the skill of his voice...
Thank you for that, Kiya - it's not many brave the wilds of my portfolio to discover my little 8-line poems, so it's wonderful to have some feedback on them. Much appreciated!
Wonderful poem that links footprints to bits and pieces of our memories over the years.
As we get older, we do leave a mark behind - footprints if you will - and even as they fade away, they'll always linger and be a reminder of what we once were.
Thanks for sharing this poignant piece with us, and keep on writing!
Most of my life I wanted
a powder blue suit;
I s’pose I shouldn’t have been daunted
but I really don’t give a hoot.
When it’s nearly time to head in,
with all arguments seemingly moot,
I hope I wouldn’t be seen dead in
a powder blue suit.

Prompt: None, but my desire for a powder blue suit was sparked by the photo on the cover of the Yardbirds first album. In it, Eric Clapton was wearing a powder blue suit. At the time, it seemed very cool.
