Just a short poem I made, I suppose. I might extend it eventually.

If I ever do so Pleasantly Recall...

If I ever do so pleasantly recall,
(venerating memories above all),
indulge in a dream,
whether big or whether small,
or let my mind wander,
like a leaf amidst the fall,
perhaps drift off into space,
like a zephyr or a squall,
hence remembering my place,
and the troubles that enthrall,
while revisiting occurrences,
some which may appall -
let me then embrace,
the greatest moments of them all.

Very pleasnat Digital. I really like the rhythm, especially of that first line. It has a great feel to it. I wouldn't extend it. I think you said what it had to say. Anything more would be redundant. Plus I think you're going to run out of rhymes with "call." ;)

Nice to see you back after a long time. Hope you are well.

Heh, thanks. ^^

Well, the next verse wouldn't use words that rhyme with "call." Rather, it would've perhaps gone something like this:

"When I ever do so gingerly remember,
the days glow brightly,
like the burning of an ember"

While the first one expresses what the narrator wishes to happen upon remembering ("embrace the greatest moments of them all"), the second verse would express how the narrator feels like upon remembering (which the first verse somewhat reveals, but doesn't focus completely on).

Well, whether I do extend it or I don't... errrmm... no one knows, but I'll tell you guys if I do. :)

I'm doing very well as well, and I hope you are too.
