i think i understand pretty well. Memories of what was, are not always very accurate. divorce or death of a partner after children have moved out?
i just noticed the rest of the rhyme scheme! sometimes trying to be accurate and consistent with a scheme throughout a poem can cause the poem to suffer some. that's my opinion, of course.
I like the extra space, intentional or not, between stanzas 1 and 2. I also like the larger than norm last stanza and that it incorporates earlier lines.
I shall add this poem to my June showcase on my PH site now. thanks.
