Childhood Treasures

 

Awash in a dream filled sleep content

I wandered streets of childhood spent

Playing games with ball and jacks

Exploring woods and railroad tracks

Cops and robbers; you've been caught

Penny candy could be bought

Slay the dragons; do be brave

Shirley Temple's curly wave

Hop Scotch drawn on streets with chalk

Find some water; skip a rock

Neighbor friends who'd play all day

Now all grown; they've gone away

Reviews

I like how you reminisce about your younger years, though the ending was a little sad when you say that everyone has gone away. It makes one wonder if they all still remember you.

I really enjoy how your poems just flow like water. I look forward to reading more of your work!

The poem brings out strong feelings for the reader

The pace and style of the poem makes it even more magical

Nicely done
