Analysis of RHYMING MEMORIES (Poem #267)



Each little poem
             or each little rhyme
Has a story to tell
             of a certain time.

You never know when
             A good time has passed
Will be one of those memories
             that in your heart lasts.

You can take photos
             and put them in a book,
But a poem tells a story
             of the photo you took.

And when you read each poem,
             you will know
How much that special thing or time
             In your heart did grow.

Jean Gorney

I wrote a poem for my daughter and new son-in-law and read it at their wedding reception in 1997. People have been encouraging me ever since. I try to write up-beat and happy poetry. My poetry has been in many anthologies, newspapers, church bulletins,etc. I won a small contest once. I self-published some small(4x5)books with about 16 poems in each that can be used as greeting cards. I include an envelope for mailing. Check them out on my FB page under Jean Magill Gorney. more…
