A Little Trip Down Memory Lane Poem by David Harris

A Little Trip Down Memory Lane

Rating: 5.0


I found a box filled with notebooks
each filled with my writings of yesterdays.
Writings that I had forgotten about
across the span of time.
They are of no great importance,
but within their contents,
I wonder if I will find some missing gems
something, I may have written down
and forgot about many years ago.
I’m going to have to go through each one.
It will be like returning to the past
without the baggage it held.
A little trip down memory lane
when dreams were active then.
I shall take my time and linger
trying to remember what I was doing
when I wrote whatever is there.

Jottings, like photos, have an immediacy and take you back in time like Dr. Who's Tardis. I look forward to reading some of these 'bits and pieces'. A gently understated piece. love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

I do hope that what you find is all 'nice' David and not 'nasty'. Memories can sometimes turn one 'topsy turvy' once again, even old writes. Love and hugs Ernestine XXX

David, I have to agree with JoAnn and T Mch. You have found a treasure. I have often revisited things I had written years ago and found they meant much more to me now than they did at the time I wrote them. I think you are in for a treat. Thanks Richard

You found a treasure David...for many things are lost in our minds....we forget the finer details...and you can go back and enjoy them again...for they are what made you who you are today....my big caring bruv: O)
