A fiendish reminder that the past
is around and within us
A memory, a mood
a startled cry, a stifled laugh
worm their way into our weary hearts
and we fade into a history reborn
The ghosts dormant and still
awaken in that undefended moment.
Great Jon I really enjoyed this..xx ?
Thanks very much, Big Sal. ?

The poem is great, but when I was reading 'mood' I accidentally placed the word as 'hood'. Dammit! I rhyme even when I don't want to.
Concise but every word is worth its weight in lines.?
Thank you so much, Kate.

I love the idea that we have undefended moments. Beautiful Jon, so much said in a few lines.
