RE: Showcase Sunday: The Dereliction of Time

in #poetry5 years ago

Great memory of a fantastic creative collaboration.

As I read this poem now, I realize just how effected I was by my grandmothers passing. I feel like it is one of my best poems I've written for steem, and the images were definitely a large part of what inspired those words :)

I wasn't going to post today as I'm feeling a bit off, but I might put a showcase Sunday post up now.

Thanks for the inspiration and the memories Rosa :)

Although it's certainly influenced by your grandmothers passing, it's also a poem that stands the test of time - I find it very beautiful 14 months later :-)

I think that's a nice part of art, we will put our emotions in it, and look back at it later with a new perspective, remembering how we looked at the world 'back then'.

Spot on! I often feel this way re-reading poems I've written, it can be like a moment of frozen time. It takes me straight back to where I was at the time emotionally, and in retrospect, new perspective can be gained :)

And thank you for your inspiration as well <3 Hope you'll feel better soon.

No worries. I'm feeling a little better after I got up of the couch and did a showcase sunday post of my own... ha ha, it made me feel like I'd got something done today ;-)
