Day Eleven – National Poetry Month: Nostalgia’s Truth

A chant poem for you today, from the prompt, Nostalgia’s Truth. Enjoy.

Nostalgia’s Truth

Painting yesteryear in soft shades of mauve,
forsaking the bloody grime of foundation,
reworking history in those pretty petals of lies
Rose-coloured delusions never end well

Remembering yesterday in soft focus filters,
while spinning those fabricated falsehoods
as actuality, so stable in your certainty
Rose-coloured delusions never end well

Wrapping nostalgia in pink velvet ribbons,
rejecting veracity’s intricate complexity
in favour of a comforting dishonesty
Rose-coloured delusions never end well
