My Favorite Memory
I remember riding a white horse.
His name was Mr. Snowball,
he'd take me anywhere I wanted to go.
The wind whispered in my ears,
moving my curls out of my face.
I looked around,
an endless green field and a perfect blue sky.
My mom was smiling at me near the fence
with a small, black camera in her hands,
keeping the moment forever.
I was seven years old when it happened.
Looking back, it made no sense—
a kid riding a horse by herself.
It was my favorite memory.

Yesterday I mentioned it to my mom,
giving details about the device she used
to photograph us.
She said she does not remember
me riding my beloved animal.
For some reason
she never showed me the picture.
She told me that the camera is somewhere in the basement.
I searched it for exactly 134 minutes.
I found it under Reggie the dinosaur,
next to a package of Oreos from 2014.
Today I entered the camera roll,
versions of me flooded the small screen.
I saw my favorite places to visit
when my legs were still short.
The beach, the carousel and
a room I didn't quite recall.
Unfortunately,
no Mr. Snowball there.
When I asked my mother about the horse,
she told me I must've skipped the picture.
She took it from my hands and claimed she had found it.
She turned the camera towards me.
I looked at the evidence.
The blue sky and the field
looked like cheap wallpaper.
Mr. Snowball was actually made of plastic.

"Don’t forget me" by @Armannveer Singh
"The poem has three metaphors for 10 lines and they are not connected. The lotus, the ocean of life (well worn metaphor) and cow/calf. I'd cut the second, leave only the lotus flower and the cow." -

"Gold" by @Shay Roberts

"Given to the dogs" by @flj011278
"This poems feels like spiraling thoughts, "tear stained pillow" followed by "blood shot eyes" are the best lines for me. I think "The end" weakens the poem, and your ponctuation use is inconsistent throughout the poem…" - July 2026

"Prophecy Of Blood" by @Human Cultist
"I think the idea it's great but it sounds obscure, there are terms without grounding, the poem relies on complex wording which fits the prophecy context but it makes confusing instead of mysterious. Also the time passag…" -
