Ah, how time fades
the halls of memory
If only it were easy
to redecorate a life
A fresh coat of paint
To smother the mildew
And refresh the mind
Shame the frame
Needs fixing too!

On Winning and Losing
Recently, the pleasant surprise of placement on the Vocal Bonus Leaderboard sent me down a rabbit hole. Now, rabbit holes are a pretty common place for me to spend time, but I don't always feel the call to write about them. To be honest, the thought of sharing some of them mortifies me.

Nicely done here! You write brilliantly! I really love the metaphor of a person as the room!
Hi Harmony, this is a very insightful poem.
This is an excellent poem, Harmony! It definitely hits close to home.
Love the poem, Harmony! I will say that place doesn't look too easy to redecorate, though. Lol! ;-) Yvette M Calleiro :-)
Both poignant and clever, Harmony. Well done.
Excellent, Harmony
SUITABLE AS A COMMENT ON AGE AS WELL AS PAIN HARMONY. VERY GOOD AND THOUGHT PROVOKING TOO. Huge Hugs
Painfully captured through a fixer-upper - powerful analogy. ❤️
Well said, Harmony! xx Michael
If only we could smother that mildew, but for that frame. Well said. Xo
I know where you are coming from, Harmony, and it's heartbreaking. It also says a lot in a few words, and I love the illustration.
I felt this one. Very clever.
Oh, Harmony, felt this one! Love the analogy, even if it's a painfully sad one.
