Vagaries... "two or more independent clauses in the sentence that need a period or semicolon," highlighting "remembering so". I agree that the sentence is formed just fine.​.. just a missing comma before "so" which still doesn't make a run-on.

Even if it were a run-on, it's a poem! . . . But all parts seem fully formed and properly connected. What are the specifics of the claim?

I've recently seen this sentence in a poem called a run-on and would dispute that claim. Any thoughts on a parsing would be appreciated.

"There was a dream I had and want to keep remembering so / I write the image down, mindful that years from now nothing / will remain of it except this ink, and barely that."

Thank you... enjoy the weekend.
