Jenna Logan Poet Tanka

Childhood Memories

adventurous days
running through wildflower fields
carefree memories
of playing with my siblings
birthday parties and skating

first day of grade school
a bit shy to make new friends
riding a school bus
Sesame Street with Big Bird
snacking on cookies and milk

waiting for Santa
holidays and Christmas trees
loving family
lots of giggles and laughter
old photographs in scrapbooks

Tom Cunningham August 14, 2022 at 12:43 AM Happy memories Jenna, I often come across things I've kept from my childhood and it takes me right back to those days. Sadly many who were in my memories have now passed away, it's lovely to look back though. Tom Jenna Logan August 14, 2022 at 4:51 AM What glorious days those were, Tom. Nothing to worry about except food and playing. Thanks for commenting, and I'm sorry for the loss of your friends.

Terrell Martin August 13, 2022 at 1:41 PM This takes me back to my own childhood days with five older siblings, two loving parents and more good memories than I could ever pen properly in a poem of this grandiose caliber. As usual, Jenna, your writing is superb. Thank you for sharing, with apologies for being a little busy lately. Write On, Terry Jenna Logan August 14, 2022 at 4:50 AM Those times of innocence in childhood should be wonderful for all children. Unfortunately, it's not so. No apologies needed. Thanks, Terry.
