Memories On The Line
ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY Acrostic Challenge By Real Poetic
A world of washing, waving
Nostalgia hanging on the line
Nesting in my memories
Immersed till my soul feels fine
Vanishing into a feeling
Every breeze, a new start
Redesigning and healing
Saturating the heart
Anniversaries stir the emotions
Remembering what matters the most
Year after year, we cling to the notion, tethered by sweet lines to our posts

2023 The Year of Women and Fridging
2023 was an incredible year for women in film. Between Beyonce and Taylor’s concert movies, Barbie and 1 single woman getting nominated for best director at the Oscars there was a lot to celebrate. But just like with anything the universe seeks balance and in 2023 we nerds also experienced something on page and screen that we should have evolved out of decades ago. In the year of Barbie we had not 1, but 2 incidents of fridging in the comic book universe. Both came from Marvel and both are inexcusable. I would love to celebrate how far representation in this field has come, really I would. But I can not do that if we are still making the same mistakes. I am not going to celebrate that there is now less sexual assault in comics. I am not going to celebrate that fridging is less common. I am not going to celebrate that women are infantilized less often in comics. I will not celebrate less. Not in 2024 when every grown person on the planet should know better. I will not be celebrating less. I will celebrate when women are ALWAYS treated like human beings, fictional or not.

Beautiful and inspirational!!! Loving this anniversary friendship poem!!!❤️❤️💕
Kelli, such a gentle poem. I love your last lines.
Love the reference to clothes, reminds me of my childhood, washing clothes by hand and hanging them in the sunshine on the line.
Beautiful acrostic, Kelli! The anchoring image of the clothesline was very well done
I loved this poem and the image you chose is so dreamy!
I love this image, this metaphor for our autobiographic memories.
This was soooo beautiful! Loved your take on the challenge!
Beautiful and bittersweet poem. I absolutely love the pic, Kelli!
What memories a clothesline lets me remember. Perfect.
The image is the perfect choice for this poem.
