Wintertime Memories Comments

This is a heart-warming poem...a delightful read...a tender evocation of childhood memories...beautifully written!

Such a wonderful poem! Yes, I agree that such Winter memories never die!

It is REALLY a pretty poem makes you live the moments you are taking about. Your reading has been mixed with music you choose, so they give together a very nice tone. But actually i see that your dropped a word in the poem although your read it in your recitation, in stanza number five, line number one, (It seems just yesterday.....) it should to be as you read it (It seems just LIKE yesterday.....) I like it, thank you for sharing that with us.

A beautiful poem bringing in a train of sweet childhood memories of a blissful time! Yes, those memories never die, but surge in our mind now and then to sweep us back to a time of bliss and unalloyed joy when we lived under the loving care of our parents! Though its rendition I couldn't hear, I love the poem as it has evoked such strong memories in me! I invite you to read my poem Nostalgia..... almost similar in spirit!

............oh I loved this poem.....thanks so much for sharing this with me....hope your day is filled with many blessings....and your new year also :)

I've guessed from the first stanza that it's about your childhood!) Much enjoyed your poem! It's so... warm and heartfelt! And that charming southern language!) Great piece and wonderful memories! Thank you for sharing!

We can certainly relive through our memories! A good poem Mr T aylor! -Raj Nandy

What wonderful scenes you painted for us with this one Loyd, and like Tia, I too feel I am viewing a warm movie about real family life. Lots of us can only yearn for such memories but thank you for sharing yours in this way. Do keep writing about such memories. from Fay.

I can't stop smiling, I have this little movie going on in my head, with the accents & all. What a rich life you have had - absolutely wonderful to read, thank you.

i too had humble beginnings, but those are the most cherished memories of my life.when ever i get overwhelmed i withdraw to the treasre trove of memries- those bickerings with siblings. tending to the garden. a really lovely and well composed poem. thanks Taylor

I made my way to this piece after having read your biography (which is warm and wonderful by the way!) . It did take a bit of searching as the title here is slightly different (I was looking under 'W' originally) - which I mention only because it offers the glimpse that you promised and I thought it would be a shame if others missed it. Chickens and hogs and dogs and goodness, ELEVEN siblings? ! Your early years were clearly quite different than mine and I thank you, sir, for sharing your memories with us. It's lovely to see how fondly you recall those days. I must say - there's a lot of warmth in these Wintertime Memories! ! ! ~Christine

I love to go back in time too and I enjoyed going back with you into your childhood. Love your rhyme and your wintertime memories. Thanks! Best Wishes, Marilyn
