Clutter Land

Jerry Reynolds

 

Roaming love’s clutter-land

filled with good starts and bad endings.

Haunted by ghosts

Frozen in the echo of my memories.

Truth softly whispers its warning.

“The shape of could have been—

is stronger than the contour of what is.”

    I love your last lines “The shape of could have been—
    is stronger than the contour of what is.”
    Well said my friend.

    Hi Jerry,
    I always appreciate your writing. I especially like the phrase, "Frozen in the echo of my memories".

    p.s. - you inspired me to write a haiku. You know what they say about imitation being the sincerest form of flattery. Having a tough time breaking out of the form (?) I used in my first two poems (Night and Asleep).
