Your poem spins memories for its reader. Vinyl plastic at its best. I still have hordes of them stashed in a closet. I play them rarely. I still have a phonograph so no excuses, except the ease of listening to the downloads, but what memories they do reflash. Loved it- Phil A.

I\'ve definitely played this record before and my copy seems to be broken. The ending on repeat where I\'d rather it not be. Love this metaphor. Gets a fave! Brilliantly done. πŸŒΉπŸ‘

I saw some record players for sale - making a comeback? Though I got a strange look from someone, when I asked: \'Do you still sell videos?\'

For as long as I live n breathe, I shall regret getting shot of all my vinyl .. I\'m now only about half way through replacing them but of course loads are no longer avinynable .. N

Soren,

Your piece beautifully captures the bittersweet nature of nostalgia, using music as a metaphor for memories resurfacing. The imagery of a phonograph playing forgotten tunes is evocative & sets a melancholic yet elegant tone.

You create a rhymthic feel by offering different musical elements to create a vivid visual & emotion.

I am this morning playing some early Pet Shop Boys on vinyl so this was a welcome piece to read whilst hearing that vinyl static scatch, as arqios mentioned, in the background.

This is a well-crafted, evocative poem with a strong nostalgic theme.

Off to turn up that amp!

regards

Records are so like photographs, they instantly remind you of places, feelings and people of the past. Enjoyed the read

Nothing like the scratchy, staticky sound of needle on vinyl! The vibrations of the turntable revolution soothed the cheek on the wooden floor! πŸ™πŸ»πŸ•ŠοΈ

Beautiful the very rebirth of a new day

I see two metaphors here, one could also be about our inner struggles. 🌹

That\'s life it can be hard work being alone and getting old. Clever rhyming in the middle of the line.I think Sylvia Plath experimented with that style.Well done

Excellent verse, life is like a vapor, disappearing before our very eyes. The way it moves, mixing with the threads of other\'s lives.

Sadly, this is where I am this morning, this week, this month, this year. The past couple of years. Well done, Soren. For me, Valentine\'s Day is depressing at best, so this was the read I needed! πŸŒΉπŸ‘πŸ™β€οΈ
