"Strolling Down Memory Lane," Taran Burke
Strolling down memory lane
Where the colors begin to fade.
Strolling down memory lane
Is where I want you to come along.
Strolling down memory lane
is a test of time and mind.
Strolling down memory lane
I won't be afraid.
Strolling down memory lane
Is not lacking in color.
Strolling down memory lane
Is not a big bummer.
Strolling down memory lane
Not a storm in sight
Strolling down memory lane
is joy without bite.
A memory that I have created in my mind,
Stands the test of time.
Memories are like dream, a reflection of the past.
My memories can my ...
Ask me no questions I will tell you no lies.
In the poem from Taran Burke's collections, Strolling Down Memory Lane expresses a unique outlook on the past of memories. Though it is just a memory, the feeling of remembrance almost fills the holes in the heart. The appreciation of the past suggests an intense peacefulness that fills the air. Memories insist to "stand the test of time, establishing a signals that elevate the question of the good memories we remember, and the bad memories we forget. Burke's poem reveals a sense of romantic loss that is insists "joy without bite."
Your post is well-written overall, with well-formulated good left and right side claims, but you could work on your usage of quotes from the poem. You did a good job of trying to keep them in-line, but the first quote you cited didn't have a closing quotation mark, so it was confusing to read, and was a rather short quote. You could also work on word choice.
ReplyDeleteSome strong adjectectives but could add some varety in diction. Nice job incuding both side claims though.
