As memory fades,
As old age advances,
There is a memory that never forgets.
Once it's said,
It is recorded,
As if in stone.
Outbursts from years ago,
Return to haunt and shame.
Memory is a terrible thing.
And so we live,
#Threatened and terrorised,
By the Internet.

A picture of the shore of Passau, Bavaria, in autumn, taken from a cruise ship on the Danube. The trees have the classic golden browns of fall foliage. There is a bright orange life preserver in the foreground creating a bright orange counterpoint. A haiku/senryu that reads: "tossed on a stormy sea, latch onto a life preserver... haiku saves those in need" Photo and poem by Robert Emond.

My poem called Wet Swings. … When the sun was shining, it meant we could go out and play. The sandbox, the swings and playground. All day, at least until the moon knocked. Rainy days were different. We could not play in that area. The wet sand, playground and swings said so— and our parents, who said no from worry. So we didn’t use them. Instead we’d search for puddles, and splash around in the biggest one. We’d return home dripping wet, parents saying we’d catch colds. And we always did.
Just a little nostalgia from childhood. I remember swinging high then jumping off the swing… then failing the landing— and getting stabbed by pieces of bark.
Looking back… not a fun memory 😂

Magnificent in metaphor,
#Pensive in poesis,
Focus in composition.
Musing, seeking inspiration.
Losing concentration,
Rhyming verses.

A poem "Outrage" by Robert Emond. "Outraged at injustice I railed against the government. Outraged at unfairness I railed against society. Outraged at stupidity I railed against humanity. Outraged at negativity my body and soul gave out. Outrageous as it seems my outrage has evaporated. Out of rage now I strive to live in serenity."

I was told
a prince would surely come.
I believed,
waiting for him
on a white horse.
My heart fluttered,
my thoughts raced—
yet I held it in, just waiting.
Then he appeared…
not a stranger,
but a familiar man next door.
And I realized:
love is often
right beside you.

My poem called Teacups. … I place them like always, yours on the left, mine on the right. A small symmetry we never planned, but somehow honored. Each morning, I fill the kettle, and let the steam rise slow. Jasmine for you— hibiscus for me. They sit between us, those two teacups— quiet as prayers, warm only for one. And though your hands haven't reached for yours in seasons, I keep pouring, because letting it go, feels like losing you a second time.
Another day, another visit to the doctor’s office (in a few hours) 😭
Hope you’re all doing well, and staying healthy too 😊
