POEM STARTER
Submitted by Susan Santizo
Write a poem about a place which makes you feel nostalgic.
You can write in any style or genre, but keep this as the central theme.
Memory Lane
Today, I walk down memory lane.
As I walk through it,
I reminisce in it.
But as I walk further down this lane,
The houses colors are fading.
I remember the lane being filled with familiar faces
Ones that saw me
Eyes that knew mine
Now all the faces do is blur
Like old memories
Leaves falling away
The farther I walk down,
The thinner the road
The concrete crumbles
I come to the end of the lane
A blank wall I can’t seem to find the strength to climb
The heart knows when the memory lane ends,
Nostalgia fades,
And there’s no light ahead,
You may just stop walking,
