I feel as though I've lived ten years in one
And what once seemed like, "only yesterday"
Is centuries behind me. I've begun
To turn to work instead of turn to play
Though I will miss those years when I was young
And my back yard became a jungle grove.
But after those, my vision only stung.
Those days will be the skulls at pirate cove,
Unnamed and lost, like remnants of a dream,
As if I lived them walking in my sleep.
These memories will dwindle. I will deem
Them thoughts, but not reality. I'll sweep
Their ashes and I'll smile, "This is the last
Of what remains of my forgotten past."

Another piece of depth and personality from your amazing mind. Of course I love sonnets, so this automatically won me over in that case but then the emotions expressed just wrapped it all up nicely. Well done lovely. you are always flawless, good luck.

memories lost
True as we get older and look back , the years of youth seem so far away, this sonnet portrays this
well with the color of its poet...Good luck in the contest...

This is a nice write. It doesn't have that beat that I have read in other sonnets I have read today, but I know absolutely nothing about forms. I hope you do well in the contest.
