Memory

A Poem by Marshall Hanson

Your memory invades my dreams
Like a black in white movie of old routines 
A past life that was only yesterday
So near yet so far
Like painting a summers day
In the cold of December

This is a nice, expressive short piece.
I think you've hit the nail on its head with the first 2 lines,
"Your memory invades my dreams
Like a black in white movie of old routines " - I think most memories wear with time to become nothing more than black and white pictures.

Nicely done.

i liked this... it seems very sad, very distant, and like you're in mourning or longing? it reminds me of "My Immortal"- a great song by Evanescence (in case you've never heard it). I give you tons of props for just allowing me to recall on such a wonderful song. Great work :)

Yes! The last line leaves us quietly; 'December' is an evocative word choice. Stellar.

I like the fluidity of your words,they have a floating effect..as in they simply float on the reader's mind,you know the way some words simply linger ..when one reads your words,there is a feeling they have been penned with ease,calm..that calm simply passes on to readers.
I feel it is black and white,not black in white...
beautiful..
