That was lovely and I adore the attic. I could spend hours up there. I like snooping in old attics, barns, and sheds. I appreciate you reviewing my work. Karen

Nicely done! Love the "sepia" reference. This is an interesting form and your theme is well defined.
I love poking around old family attics!

Comment from gansach
This is an excellent presentation. I have learned another new form of poetry and this is a great example. The picture is perfectly matched, the descriptive words presenting a clear and nostalgic picture. Well done!

Comment from shelley kaye
this was an excellent kimo packed with imagery of dusty webbed memories and dreams packed away...
great connection between lines one and 2
one suggestion i have is to maybe add a dash (--) after the second line for the reader to pause before the third line... just a thought
thank you for participating in this week's event and sharing your poem!
shelley :)

Comment from Shanbreen
"Vague Sepia memories" --- very appropriate. It's surprising how the things we cherished (dreams) at one time ends up in our collectables, most times, never to be touched again. So mush implied in your 3-line Kimo.
Love the imagery, too.

Very emotional, I think of all the time I spent thinking about tomorrow. Now I have reached the age there are few tomorrows. But at least with Fanstory, I feel like I've accomplished something. Your poem makes the reader think, I like that.

Comment from Pam (respa)
-Nice artwork and presentation, Sanku.
-You did a good job with the form.
-The syllable count is good, along with the topic.
-The vivid imagery in line one sets the scene.
-Memories from these "bygone days" have faded, like
"fragments of misplaced dreams."
-Very well done.

Comment from June Sargent
Fragments of dreams - whether fulfilled or not - do accumulate in the attics of our hearts and minds through the years. Sepia tones that eventually filter into golden memories. A touching club entry.

Comment from Begin Again
WE keep mementos of our past, some important and others simply things we can't let go for now. Unfortunately, I picture my children and maybe most young people, coming in and simply pitching it all, questioning why someone would hold on to these things. I've seen two family members empty their parents homes with dumpsters. There motto was "Pitch it" How sad ...it's like someone's life being tossed in the trash.
Smiles, Carol

You are so right .I too have witnessed a close relative dumping her parents things after their time.I dont think the present generation is sentimental...
Comment from Dawn Munro
This is simply sublime! My only critique would be of your notes -- not enough for my limited understanding... But I will add what I looked up (to properly review a poetry format with which I am not familiar). *grin* (I will then bookcase this wonderful, highly evocative example of a kimo poem, and have my notes as a reference.)
"Kimo is a poetic variation of the haiku. It was created originally to better suit the syllabic counts of Hebrew, hence the Israeli Haiku moniker. It is a poem of three lines that follows a syllable structure of 10 - 7 - 6. They are typically written to capture a "snapshot" of life."
