Day-dreams and Time-machines (Tinka Ssestet )

Box of dusty mimes.
Misty eyed you sit and stare,
lost in space and time.
Cards and photos take you there,
swept you off without a care.
--
Mementos worn thin.
Glimpse of way back when,
soon revives a long lost friend.
Shared dog-eared pages in time,
cellared away like good wine .
--
A familiar place,
scented old leather and lace,
a framed friendly face.
Fingertips of heart and mind,
trace each picture there outlined .
--
Cameos in time,
reflections reach out to you.
Long forgotten rhymes,
love letters, forget-you-nots,
tucked away in hidden spots.
--
Smile on your lips.
Teared the corners of your eyes.
Special mellow trips,
guarenteed to bring fresh sighs,
never have to say goodbye!
--
Down to resurrect,
museum, mausoleum,
memories interred,
buried there in retrospect,
as re-call must be assured.

By Jove !

hello

Thank you for the walk through the past I especially enjoyed the alliteration in these lines: Down to resurrect, museum, mausoleum, memories interred, buried there in retrospect, as re-call must be assured. Always, Cat

Thank you Rosina

So glad it tickled your fancy! I was wondering if you, or anyone for that matter, has noticed the style ? I call it a "Tinka" . This is a sestet . There are a Tinka twin, a Tinka trio, a Quad, a Quint and as mentioned above a sestet , a septet, an octet and anything larger is called a "Tinka-munity". I will post a challenge in the forum . Soon My last two challenges went unanswered. Maybe the next will have more luck! By Jove !
