Memory Lane

[Tinker]

Memory Lane

In a small space,
somewhere inside my head,
obscured from sight
by tangled limbs of thought
and brambles of unfulfilled
dreams, there is a hazy,
lazy lane where memories
of an almost forgotten
past dwell. Sometimes an image,
a touch or taste on my tongue
will take me there.
But I don't linger long.
I prefer the clear path before me.

This is lyrical, lovely. I totally get the nostalgia. I would drop the last line; I think that part has already been expressed, shown in the penultimate line.

Agreed, the final line is not only redundant, it dissipates the nuance of what precedes.  Nice insights.

Thanks Tony and Dave, you are right... I have to break myself of that.   I actually won first place with this poem in a WCD contest.
