Memories
Discarded, sadly
Left, dirty unashamedly
In the big old trunk
Had seen better days
Accolades galore, big fans
Cheerleaders shouting
‘We are the champions
Yes, yes we are the champions’
Now just memories
Usual consequence
It was a fleeting moment
That was all it got!

always fun to look back and remember, but as you say it's fleeting, and we must move on to tomorrow :)
Nice magpie!
Fleeting memories indeed!
Looking back is nice, but certainly the now is way more important.

That is why, challenge trophies are the best. Year after year, a tradition is created.
Lasting. Loyal. Its luster more brilliant each year.
Ah but what a fleeting moment!
Thanks for your comment on my post - they were also fleeting moments.
Fleeting moments are the building blocks of a full life...
What memories...!!

Ninot Ma'am,
Yes, that is right. It is polished and enclosed, made to be an exhibit. Never drab or dirty and polished again before presentation every year.
@ Caty, that's right, life must go on.
@ Coloring, thanks.
@ Kristen, thanks for the memories.
Millie, certainly, life is for living in the now. Visited you blog. It's great!
Madame and Jinksy, fleeting moments yes but enough time to bask in the glory.
Where are the snows of yesteryear..?
Oh those memories! Among my most cherished. Yes, I was a cheerleader. Trophy winning seasons, year after year ...

I like your poem. Yes fleeting, but hopefully the memory of the buzz it gave lingers :O)

'Memories are made of these...' Thank you all and Happy Thanksgiving once again!
Ah but the fleeting moment is remembered and described so well.
Thank you Bee, and Happy Thanksgiving.
The trophy might only be an accolade, but the effort it stands for means so much more. And learning what it takes to achieve the trophy.
Yes, Andy promised us all 15 minutes of fame... and some got to keep the cup!
Petrina,
An achievement and a satisfaction really.
Stafford,
Right, some more deserving?
