"Moments" A poem, comments please?

Question

Moments slip away

into the past,

moments cherished

to memory's revived,

moments to review

in mind's heart,

moments better forgotten

still they survive

to shift, to flow

both in and out,

moments then

moments now,

Blending life's

beginings

till journey's end.

Answer 1

It is beautiful.  I watched "Fried Green Tomatoes" tonight -- if you haven't seen it, do; it is a classic.  Your poem took me back into the movie -- the memories and how important they were.

Good work.

Answer 2

This poem is great

Answer 3

I love it, great, moments we all have them and they are a teaching lesson if learned.

Answer 4

A lot of moments.  I like what you are doing, but the repetition of moment seems to me to be a bit much. How about this for a start?

They slip away,

into the past,

these moments,

yet we review,

revive and relive

these memories....

Answer 5

I like your poem it talks about moments

to me that would be time.

The second line as it slips in the past

that would be history.

Moments can also be memories

because the line

some moments are better forgotten

this is referring to not dealing with or

if they were painful don't bring it up.

The moment a person is born to the day

they pass on that would be time.

Time in a married can be measured in years

months

Moments are time that is now

that will occur

or has already occured

Time comes in and over the years

will go out quicker.  

There is time to forgive

time to forget

in other words forgive and forget

Answer 6

The first 7 lines seem to be a little strained - then tension is released - and the remainder flows nicely. ♥
