Imagine This

When I was young,in summer sun the excitement of life,just begun, hours seemed like days, and days by brooklets,still,we lazed; When I was young,in poverty simple pleasures were had ,for free improvisation was our key, for sport,fishing or climbing tree; When I was young,before tv books and radio were for me, putting a face to voice and place the birth of creativity. Frugal times,spent so close to home sans shopping malls and telephone

Beautiful poetry, Brian. It is that improvisation, which makes life exciting and feeds creativity. The graven image (Scratches on silicon) has robbed us of much...especially the children's minds...influencing the future. You're right with this nice write! Dane
