Childhood Memory

childhood memory
with nostalgic zeal I trace …
stalled time tracked backward

from blue hills yonder
rolled landscape on verdant waves …
cradle for hamlet

stream of crystal glow
flowed in flashy meander …
garland of grandeur

in backyard jade pond
water rippled on swan’s wake …
my paper boat sailed

under sunburst sky
ran on floral garden path …
butterfly chaser

beyond cotton clouds
my colored kite soared in blue …
in sky dreams flew young

I especially love the last line and "rolled landscape on verdant waves" So vivid an image I had. Congrats on your top placement
