a thousand different remembered moments
April Poem Challenge
If I could venture backwards in time
and see history made anew,
the first atom smashed,
Edison’s lightbulb,
witness the Promethean gift of fire,
I would say no to them all
to revisit any of a thousand different
remembered moments with you.

"Any last words, cowboy?" "None you'd understand, sodbuster." "Funny. That's Marshall Sodbuster to you. But I meant some last nugget that would help us in the adjudication of the myriad offenses counted against you and your gang. I wasn't asking for penitence."

awww, this is so sweet. A love poem for the ages.
This is gorgeous and that last line hits so hard. Beautifully done.
Wow! Beautifully written lines! <3
Oh damn, sir. my romantic old romantic heart loves every single word of this. Too short in my opinion, but also just the right length! Well done sir!
Such a beautiful poem… with a surprising twist for its conclusion ✅.
Just stunning! Really loved this one, John! Would have made a killer entry for the love in 50 words challenge with an extra line or two! But of course it's splendid as is!
I hope she read this. Did she? It accurately describes how important a loved one is. Beautiful work!!!
How lovely
A beautiful and sweet poem. What a romantic!! Lucky her.
Absolutely gorgeous, John. What a beautiful tribute to the beautiful woman you love, and the beauty of said love shines through brighter than a star here. ♥️♥️
What a poem that will have many realize how important history is one way or another. We need to understand and have someone special to do that with us. Good job,
Oh John. This is so romantic and with the picture as well? Just lovely. Made me well up.
A beautiful feeling captured through each line
Ah John, this is so sweet. I hope that special someone in your life knows & appreciates this.
Oh my. I just love that ending. Well done, my friend.
Well-wrought and very sweet, John! I'm certain that when Prometheus gifted man with fire, it was this warmth he meant to inspire.
What a stunning tribute to the importance of connection and memory.
Awww, that was so sweet! Loved your poem!
This is incredibly heartfelt and inspiring! I hope all is well in your world!
Wow. This hurt right where it needed to. Great entry!! Felt every word
