The CPC Thematic Attic Thursday “Unforgotten” with Diane and A-Rhodi

Photobucket

Hello and Welcome once again to another week of “Thematic Poetry” Fun!

Today we would like to focus on the

“Unforgotten”

That is all those memories and keepsakes you have carried with you through time.

The Unforgotten can be a variety of things stored

in your attic or basement…

Or bookshelfs….. They are those things dear to us that we just can not part with…

…as in a favorite book or photos….

The Unforgotten

Now that it is Spring is here and many of you have cleaned out your closets, garages and attics, did you run across any of those hidden treasures? Where memories rediscovered as you cleaned through your things?

Write us a poem about something you may have rediscovered that took you back down memory lane?

Use your imagination and ponder things that could be found there if you haven’t done you cleaning yet!!!

Photobucket

Here is something that I’m sure you will enjoy watching,

It may help loosen up those memories

as we look at how we keep things “Unforgotten”!


For the all the “Unforgottens” that you now hold in mind share your thoughts about them with us in a creative yet fun way for we would love for you to write about them.

Share a poem or a poem in a picture (PnP) for all to read and comment on!!!

These memories are precious moments in time

Never to be forgotten and

A treasure when shared.


Photobucket

As always we thank you for sharing your time with us here at Thematic Attic.

For without you we would not be here…

From my heart to you,

~Love and Peace~

Blessings with memories shared

~Diane~


Let us hear from you! Send us your “Heart-felt” response to let us know

How your feel ~ A-Rhodi

    I have a fun poem that I wrote about “Playing Dress Up” I’ve been up since 5:30 AM so I think this is better than anything new I could come up with at the moment *smiling* I so hope you enjoy it!!!

    Hey Jon and Diane great theme! I always loved the general idea of this challenge, since up in the attics are our histories. The specific theme “The Unforgotten” for some reason made me think more about people and relationships. Just gonna try to find a pic to play dress up with my poem, and then I’ll be back with it.

    Unforgotten Memories

    Unforgotten memories in my mind

    Aren’t always so easy to find

    C.R.S. has affected my brain

    Old age is to blame

    Some memories remain clear

    Others faded throughout the years

    Never forget the important things

    Forever grateful for all my blessings

    Things we do today, become memories tomorrow

    Concentrate on the happy, don’t dwell on the sorrow

    Make some memories that are sure to last

    The time we are given passes by so fast

    THE UNFORGOTTEN MOMENTS

    Memories

    Of when you were young and care free

    Not a worries in the world

    Just free too be you

    Treasures of little things you keep

    Just because

    Thoughts of tomorrow and what it brings

    Pictures you hold close to heart

    That never grow old

    Bits and pieces

    Of some precious moments

    Never to be forgotten

    A poem that you have read

    Some where fold nice and neat

    In a drawer

    A song you never forget

    That gets stuck in your head

    You cant always remember all the words

    But its there on the tip of your tongue

    Just a few words you cam hum

    Those unfor gotten moments

    Never grows old

    Yet some are forgotten

    As we grow older wit time

    Yet still there in the back of our minds

    If and when some one speaks of so and so

    The memorials does tent to pop back even if only a while

    Ole mother hag and her frogs
    They all come to life
    In a small children eyes
    Older one as well
    As well as the older one
    My magic book holds all
    All that I wish to be
    The best of both world for me
    On my shelf lid a mysterious of wishes and dream
    All I gotta do is
    Look and see

    In the memory attic of my mind
    My brother left me with nothing
    After he died, or so I thought
    In fact he left me with
    Memories we made all our lives
    Times we played, times we laughed
    Times we joked and played silly pranks,
    Times he was there for me and
    Times he wiped my tears,
    So now when tears come
    I look at his picture
    And remember he’d want me to smile
    And not cry.

    Photobucket

    In the memory attic of my mind
    My nana left me with
    Her memory of how she loved me
    But also she left me her chestier draws
    And a poem on a box that reads

    This is a very special gift
    That you can never see,
    The reason its so special
    Its just for you from me.

    When every you are lonely,
    Or feeling down or blue,
    You only have to hold this gift
    And know I think of you.

    You never can unwrap it,
    Please leave the ribbon tied.
    Just hold the box close to your heart
    Its filled with love inside.

    Photobucket

    Many people I have lost
    But within the memory attic of my mind
    There always there never forgotten
    And just maybe I’ll tell you of them some other time.

    And her is a pic of them together 🙂

    here it comes, red-eyed and
    gutted, one more
    killing.
    the jade buddha sits
    and laughs,
    he fell through the
    cracks.

    here it comes, a hopping
    eyeball
    a sandy blanket
    hair conditioner
    2 rubber slugs
    one sock
    a candle in the
    shape of a fish

    3 or 4 photographs.

    I should have kept
    a pair of panties
    but I threw them
    out, I wanted to
    do it right

    do what we were
    doing wrong
    right.

    here it comes, one more
    cut and break
    one more burn
    one more peal of
    desperate laughter.

    there’s a small box
    of junk
    a birthday card
    a guitar pick

    plants dying in
    the garden

    there’s this and about
    50 other poems,
    that’s not too bad

    that seems like a lot
    for someone who was
    never there.

    MOMENTS UNFORGOTTEN

    Magical moments unforgotten,
    each and every one,
    the words, “I do,”
    shared so very long ago;
    the first sounds that our children made
    as welcomed to this world;
    the evening sun dipping gracefully
    below the horizon toward night
    to rise up over the mountains
    and greeting me again at dawn;
    the people I meet along the way,
    precious family and friends
    such treasures all,
    warm smiles each day
    and sparkling eyes.
    Moments unforgotten
    and held so very close
    as etched within my memory
    I tuck them all away
    in that place reserved
    for the unforgotten,
    treasured memories
    each and every one.

    the thoughts in a minds attic

    In the attic of thoughts.
    I’m frozen by the memories that taunt my mind.
    Afraid to search more through the soul boxes of times.
    Instead I’d rather dream of a new rhyme .
    Memories I have buried alive.
    Thoughts of misery I beg to die.
    But they still come alive in the dead of my mind.
    I see the pictures float on by.
    Like time has stopped and moments breath life.
    Within the moments strife does rise.
    The thought of a lonely life comes into my mind.
    I began to silently cry.
    I wonder about the whys.
    Then I choke it up to mistakes .
    And I go on with my day.
    For I know how much my heart will pay.
    Memories in a box can be so terrify gray.
    The past for me should be just that.
    For the promises where broken each and every day.
    I had a hard life in love this I can cold heartily say.
    There is not a memory that does not haunt me.
    I could never really be me.
    What the past took from me was my sanity .
    It lift me in a dark soul begging for a light to show.
    It left me feeling so blue and cold.
    Now I’m stuck healing a past I never wanted.
    And the thoughts that are stored I would not wish on my worst enemy.
    I have never seen remorse for what was done to me.
    And I never will.
    The past should be burned and a new start shall be given .
    The thoughts stored in the attic should be forever gone.
    No more misery through heart wrenching songs.
    I should just move on.
