Memory Lane

I love poetry, even though I am not good at it.... However, I will keep on writing and look forward to learn from people' s comments.^_^

Taking a walk down Memory Lane
Houses that had once been so dear,
Line the sides of the road
 

 

Personal belongings scatter on the lawns
Arrange a trial leading to the houses’ gaping doors
Form a bicycle with side wheels to a sports car
From teddy bears to tubes of make- ups
Familiar, once- close, or long- lost faces
Peek through the curtains
Some with names that are just outside my grasp
 

Overwhelming,
So many could- bes, corpses of young, naïve dreams
Litter the curb
 

The air is stale with age,
Thinner in where sweet recollection lies,
Dense like a rock with sins
 

In the middle of the road, 
Several holes dot along it, hungry mouths waiting to be filled
I walk on boldly
For I can only move forward
 

In the far distance,
A castle in the air floats

This is really very good, but again, spelling and/or editing is needed. Barbara

I like this one, agreeing to Nuala, it is a good poem.

Amazingly it works well, memory lane given a nice literal picture, painted well with chosen words.

Good read.

I think you better change that note about not being good at it! Are you kidding? This is so excellent. Your style and fresh approach make your writing so inviting.
Every line here holds a story within. I especially think your words here are amazing...
"Dense like a rock with sins
In the middle of the road,"
...So many of your verses reach out and please the senses!
