Yesterday's Remnants my tomorrow exists in a bucket lined with remnants of yesterday lost in a daze, i reside in a maze past illusions hold future at bay two steps forward...three strides to the right life's labyrinth has many dead-ends circle around trodding familiar ground then slowly peek 'round the next bend appears safe enough...i'll give it a try but looks can be very deceptive move on for a bit, survive on my wit at times you may think me quite festive then suddenly, obstacles rise in my path go over, around them or through mind growing weary, eyes become teary my options seem scattered and few so, i rummage through yesterday's remnants choose a comfortable memory or two i'll get through today, with little dismay no obvious hazards in view but no new tomorrows yields nothing stale yesterdays now line my pail tomorrow i'll start...learn to follow my heart break free from this self-imposed jail tomorrow... ~vlraynes "...until you have read the verse on his heart, you have not truely met the poet." -vlraynes [This message has been edited by vlraynes (edited 06-22-2001).] |

Vicky~ My goodness girlie ... this is fantastic. I REALLY enjoyed how you worked the two phrases into this one beautiful poem !  'my tomorrow exists in a bucket lined with remnants of yesterday' You just 'thought' your muse was napping !  All it took was a new bottle of ink ! What a terrific challenge-taker you are !  Love ya', sweetie. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

This is great it bounced along in my head. Sometimes you just gotta pick up your socks and get on with it! |

This is superb! So thoughtful and yet filled with elements of play. I enjoyed your comebacks to the repliers, too! You keep having fun with your writing! |
