Misery and Memories

buried my misery
in the far corner of the backyard
'neath a stately old oak
the oak died, misery still lives

I loaded up the trunk of the Taurus
with all my worthless memories
drove fifty miles, dumped them beside the road
when I got home they opened the door for me

Ya know, I think being all high and all, I should come up the some quasi-intellectual & quite philosophical statement, but to be honest all thats coming up in me is that fact I got the munchies...e

LOVE THIS! You and me are two of a kind... we share the same self-knocking yet clear-eyed view of our life in balance, in which we largely laugh lest we just sit down and plain bawl - like Lucy, perhaps!! LOL!! Know just where you're coming from here... xx

So glad you buried the hatchet. Good riddance.

Misery and memories of it make terrible bedfellows, but without those memories of misery we’d certainly have missed out on some fantastic poetry over the last few centuries, including many of your works, Jerry.

Thanks for your contributions. Dick

no matter how far we go, we can't escape the memories of who we are but we can erase their influence as long as we change our perspective of the world ...

Reviewed by Odin Roark 3/7/2012
Eerie, yet ethereal message asking the reader to assess his or her own memories. The mind knows nothing of "our of sight, our of mind" even though some might delude themselves into believing it true. Last issue of Wired had a long article regarding memory and a pill being developed to work on certain areas of the brain to eliminate haunting traumatic memories. Interesting.

My goodness, your metaphors are superb in this poem. Think positive and just live in the moment..I believe I have commented on the past three poems about living in the moment and staying positive..this seems to be a theme for me today...
I wish you peace, love and light,
Amber

They are a force to be reckoned with... but my my they do make for good reading when contending with the will of Jerry Bolton.
