Reminiscing What a Big One

Reminiscing
Sitting here the sky is grey Contemplating what to do today I’ve read some poems this morning anew They made me think of when I was with you The love we shared on a grey morn like this My heart I gave, you gave me a kiss I spoke those words so hard to get out I love you dearest, I wanted to shout You took my words I had given to you But you buried them away and I knew we were through The tears slide down my cheeks now anew I wish I could see you to say thank you My heart I gave you when I was six I didn’t know life played awful tricks I never loved you I know that’s true now You just had a bigger conker than me it was WOW! I had a sixer you had a niner You bragged about it even when it gave you a shiner It flew off your string and hit you in the eye I laughed till I wet myself, I don’t know why Just sitting reminiscing on this cold grey day Has made me smile with the memories, now so far away.

Reading this poem has advanced my knowledge. Before today, I was not familiar with "conkers" and the game that is played with them. This is a good descriptive write with some good rhyming. Good one Mandy.
