I dream about, grandpa's farm, his house in winter, white snow blending with sky and clouds, the horses safe and cozy in the barn I just left, oh, if I could be that little girl again full of joy and innocent happiness. ________________________ April 07, 2023 Poetry/Fibonacci/A Memory Copyright Protected, ID 04-1538-004-07 All Rights Reserved, 2023, Constance La France Written for the Standard contest, Simply Poetry 2 sponsor, John Lawless, Judged 04/20/2023 Second Place

A sweet poem generating a train of childhood memories in me. Though we had no horses, there were many cows in the cowshed. Watching small playful calves was a dear entertainment in our childhood days. Congratulations on your great win...dear Constance!

Valsa, thank you so much for the comment, compliment and congratulations. After grandpa passed, grandma sold the farm and all the animals, I was heartbroken !

John, thank you so much for the contest and my placement, appreciate! And for the compliment and comment. I find this form difficult, especially fitting that last line on the page of PS's format and not have it line wrap, happy that I managed to do it !
