The slowly sinking sun made the scene look peppered in brass.
The nearby river twinkled like a thousand shiny stars,
Our fishing nets lay idle next to frog spawn filled jars.
The birds began their evening chant as I lay silent and still in the corn,
The feet of searchers thudding nearby, small sandals leave buttercups torn.
I close my eyes and begin to doze, not bothered if I am found,
It'll soon be time to leave this paradise as we'll be homeward bound.
The friends call out my name as they open all the jars,
And carefully return the spawn to join the twinkling stars.
We promise to come back tomorrow for another wondrous day,
When our cheeks will glow even redder as we spend our time on play.

CHILDHOOD MEMORIES

The early evening breeze swam through the long golden grass,
The slowly sinking sun made the scene look peppered in brass.
The nearby river twinkled like a thousand shiny stars,
Our fishing nets lay idle next to frog spawn filled jars.
The birds began their evening chant as I lay silent and still in the corn,
The feet of searchers thudding nearby, small sandals leave buttercups torn.
I close my eyes and begin to doze, not bothered if I am found,
It'll soon be time to leave this paradise as we'll be homeward bound.
The friends call out my name as they open all the jars,
And carefully return the spawn to join the twinkling stars.
We promise to come back tomorrow for another wondrous day,
When our cheeks will glow even redder as we spend our time on play.

Wow, your descriptions formed a visual in my mind. I love recalling childhood. You did a wonderful job transferring your thoughts in your poem.

one is considered lucky if they have these memories......you express them so well here.....

While every care is taken to ensure the general sites content is family safe, our moderators cannot be in all places; all the time. Please report poetry and or comments that are in breach of our site rules HERE (Please include poem title or url). Parents also please ensure that you supervise your children well when they are on the internet; regardless of what a site says about being, or being considered, child-safe.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
