My daughter gave me last Christmas a subscription for Storyworth, for the purpose of documenting stories about my life’s journey. I used the site prompts to document related poetry with explanations. This is the last entry.


A History of Me

I am not so self important
To believe a-history of me
Is meaningful or prescient
To a world beyond screens

Of my life story
As recalled through events
Of my creative writing odyssey
As I satisfy each prompt sent

Of a request of import for legacy
By those who sense a need
Of validation of my journey
To create a recollected seed

Where comfort is not in accolades
Comfort is not in well meant words
Comfort is not in passionate tirades
Comfort is not in trite verbs

Time is the ultimate matchmaker
Of a last statement on a past
Colored by dramatic failures
Colored by emphatic broadcasts

Where the final partner
Is a feeling of peace
Resulting from a started
Quest to create healing keepsakes

For promises to those I love
Is given a sense of closure
For all accents of the dove
Where tranquility is my final partner

Very interesting. Just need to get the head around why the company owners have a need to monetise my memories. Else, it’s all splendid.
