Can I monostich my comment?
I'm not sure this is an absolute truth. I believe it depends on the state of that mind. However, memories have greater "staying power" when supported by strong emotions. So, there is a point to be made about the power of love, or another powerful emotion helping us retain special or poignant memories. Best to you in the contest. Cheers and sunshine from Barbados!

This monostich poem, Truth Remains, has the proper formatting and maintains that the truth of life and eternity will endure although humanity ignores it.

So true. The heart may not be able to express what the mind can no longer recall. But they are there - embedded deep into the heart where they will be preserved for eternity.

Like my keys... I love my keys. I cherish them with a profound passion as without them, I am nothing. Just a helpless soul confined to the unforgiving walls of my house. Forever barred from leaving lest I could not ever return again.
Yet my mind is blank.
Oh where are my keys.
Tim

I really like your poem! It makes me think about how emotions can remain steady - even when our thoughts wander. The way you wrote it makes it feel like each word carries weight. It's a beautiful and thought provoking poem. Keep up the great work!

Hi
These two short lines are so true about how memories stay with us. The artwork is beautiful and seems to be a metaphor for looking into the past.
Good luck in the contest.
Keep writing and stay healthy
Have a great weekend.
Joan

Your poem reads like a Hallmark (I Love You) moment. With being so short all is said of the heart and mind in the spirit of truth. You've written a great Monostich poem for the writing prompt entry.
