Sken58, I found your phone to be very creative, inventive and illuminative and show your resourcefulness and ingenius. This type of poetry, the Cordery, was well achieve by such creativeness. I have one suggestion to making your last line of your problem, near the end of the line To change the word "in" to "from",: "...Today and left memories (from) the past."
Thank you very much for sharing and posting your poem for everyone and may the good Lord be with you always.

    Thank you Krys.
    I appreciate your comments and rating .
    I deliberately chose the word "in " because in my comments I stated it was time to let go and leave those memories wherecthey belong -in the past.

I have never heard of this form myself but it looks as though you followed the instructions. I wish I could remember more of my childhood. It was a happy time for me which I took for granted. Thanks for sharing. Good job. Nancy

    My childhood was not happy-hence the decision to leave
    Memories in the past.

Love 'flared'.
blowing /Beautiful blooms A procession of 'b' enhances
Good use of 'Resplendent' 3 syllables
" " " 'Lingering' " "
passed/ past. Interesting co-comparison

Loved the piece.

I'm not into complex poetic formats, so I'll just bypass your lengthy description & focus on the message. This is a great idea for a poem, a dilemma we all grapple with, & I love the way the "childhood home" symbolizes so much junk that we are often better leaving behind. Thanks for sharing this insightful poem.

Childhood days are the days of our daily dream. No tension no worry only fun. Flashback of childhood memories while passing by the childhood home. It reminded me of my own childhood days. Loved reading it. Thanks for sharing.

This is an interesting form. I'm sure many people can relate to the topic, I know I can. For me, your first and last lines make the poem. They tie it all together so the reader is not left hanging. Flows well and reads naturally without the need for rhyme.
