It is not so much consequence what you say, as how you say it. Memorable sentences are memorable, on account of some single irradiating word.

I'm an actor and I've created a lasting and memorable character named Frasier, who is not me, but who most people think is. So when I have a chance to play something that's different, I embrace it because it's fun; also in this case, he's a memorable character.

If a poem is not memorable, there's probably something wrong. One of the problems of free verse is that much of the free verse poetry is not memorable.

Ancient Season
eastern wind blows kissing plants
feeling something new but memorable
it is a brand-new day and way
I have never met you but there is something memorable
I rethink what it is
I felt myself being in a long winter
someone said
When winter comes, something good would come along next
eastern wind blows me again
take all the things considered
watching all trees covered in pink
sitting under one of the trees
the wind comes provoking me into rethinking of what is going on
what must be spring
A thankyou to Margaret
Some thankyous are best private;
some deserve a public airing,
in case they touch someone else who's suffered:
I wrote a poem about my mother's restless, painful death;
and you, who had just lost your husband
but whose deathbed was a memorable day
as he with cancer and you his wife
had the most beautiful, memorable hours of conversation,
about two rich lives lived together -
you, struck by the contrast, wrote to me
in sympathy. And so, my pain is eased
in sharing in your beautiful sad joy..
and you, I hope, may be the happier for this -
I wonder, do you know what good this brought?
thank you, Margaret.

First Day At College, Triolet
New place, new people, new horizon
Memorable, first day at my college.
Excited, happy but had apprehensions
New place, new people, new horizon.
Would conquer the career with passion
And get friends, freedom with knowledge;
New place, new people, new horizon
Memorable, first day at my college.

Liz no more
Words may prove to be less
She had kind and unforgettable face
Those memorable lines may stay for ever
Her role as an artist may always be cheered
Hardly in any decade have you had such beautiful flower?
Not for outer beauty but for kind and memorable nature
Memory may fade away but not her contribution
It was really a golden period which really marked revolution
Liz you will be shining star on the horizon
Many hearts were broken and won
You will be remembered for your outstanding performance
Beauty and honor will go side by side with romance
Great souls appear rarely on earth
They will be mourned gravely on their death
Leave behind a great mark for mankind
Rarely we come across or find
Liz you were on lease from the God
You have departed for the good
Someone else may try and take over
As an artist you never desired any cover

Let Me Enjoy The Moment
let me enjoy
the moment
with you
let it be
brief and yet
so memorable
and then let
each sweet note
go into the air
into smoke
and sparkle
inside a glass
and then
to an empty space
so much like
a very sweet, sweet song of love
and then like a rain
that pours and then stops
and then
silences itself, and then
we part, saying
'please, do not say
any word'

Relish The Time
RELISH THE TIME
Another memorable moment in your journey
Memorable achievement one among many
Beginning of a dream of bouquet of dreams
In choice of colors in life’s bigger schemes
Relish the time on hand embellish with joy
Light a candle of delight in mantle of sky
For always to shine leading you the way
Reminding you forever not to drift away
Another triumph in your sincere attempt
Admirable from every facet without exempt
Something to be very proud of for always
Platform to leap into future with grace
Relish the moment like it’s truly meant
Something to remember feeling content
Stirring your thoughts feeling fervent
Inspiring to strive for more achievement

The Power of Two
The power of two,
It all began,
With one woman and one man,
Who became wife and husband.
A perfect union.
Two winners of one team.
The power of two.
The beginning of a great book,
Begins with two sentences,
That's part of the first paragraph.
You two will begin a new path,
Of late night laughs,
Beach walks,
Endless hours of long talks,
Treasuring one another thoughts.
Bible taught church visits,
Memorable memories,
That you will never forget.
Always thanking God that you met.
The power of two,
The bible says,
When two or more are gather,
There He will be in the mist of them.
The power of two,
Two colors mixed together,
Becomes another.
What therefore God hath,
Joined together,
Let no man put asunder.

A Quiet Rap for Poetry Teachers
Words, they ‘mean’ – just, what they do;
and a poem means – just what it does;
if it doesn’t do a single thing for you –
that’s it, for now; let’s cut the fuzz…
it may be called ‘the greatest’ poem;
it may be utterly true;
but if it doesn’t do one little thing for you -
just put it aside for another time;
and let's all rap'n'clap this memorable rhyme:
'poems ‘ mean’ – simply – what they DO…
(1,2,3, and...) ...for ME..(5,6..) ......for YOU! '....
and that’s the end of my poetic beef –
I hope you find that some relief..
so rap it with me, all of you:
“ POEMS MEAN – JUST WHAT THEY DO! ! “
