Sweet childhood memories are to be cherished, AS ARE 'sweet memories'. The 'sour memories' are to be regretted and perhaps are best forgotten. bri : )
A lovely poem depicting the unforgettable joys, jubilations, and unmeasured ecstasy of children is so nicely penned. The images like ice creams, paper boats are sheer elements of joys. Written from heart..!! I love and appreciate the piece of work
In delight! ! With the muse of the light of life. Thanks for sharing this poem with us.
Many of the things I did as a child, though, sadly, we don't have Mango trees. Such a fine evocation of childhood, paper boats, dandelions, etc. I'm still an Ice-cream fanatic! I think this poem is just about to join my list of favourites, Rini!
An interesting poem on sweet memories. Really a masterpiece. Thanks
Dear Rini, the cherished memories of your childhood has been painted touchingly and attractively. Let it be quoted some lines... Swings were hung on mango trees Touched the sky with our feets Swayed with wind in the fields Flying paper planes and kites Blowed the seeds of dandelions which Carried thoughts to the loved ones Made paper boats on rainy days floated in small puddles on the roads The butterflies and dragonflies fluttered around. It is a beautiful poem on reminiscence. Thanks for sharing.'...10
Great Poem. These are sweet childhood memories. Great imagery and a poem masterpiece.
four stars. Cowboy Ron Williams (poet of the poem series Marooned) apparently felt you were a 'sweet memory' when he included your name in parts of his series. Seriously! bri : )
