PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

         I was walking down by the pond that was behind my house. As I was walking something caught my eye. It was a metal box, full of something liquid like. It looked like oil but was more like water. As i looked into it i could see something forming in it. It started showing my memories as a kid. First when i was born, then it was when my mother died. It kept showing me bad memories of my past. I kept the box closed as i walked by a barn also by the pond.

        I buried it by the back door so I could remember where it was. As I ran back to my house all I could think about was the box and what it showed. I thought why did it have that stuff in it and where did  it come from. All I could do was sleep on it.

       I awoke to the sound of my dogs barking like crazy. I got ready and ate a apple while I went back to the barn where i buried the box. The box was still where it was. I opened it again but there was nothing in it anymore. I jsut stared at it for a minute to see that there where letters inscribed on the bottom of the lid. It said "live life to the fullest, don't let old memories hold you down."
