Notes About The Poem

Listen to poem:

Echoes of My Playground

unknown to anyone 
down a convoluted secret path
in a hidden corner of my heart

it's there and waits for me
beneath a summer sun
the playground of my youth

and when quietly I listen
I still hear the sweet melody
of children's laughter

Carol Mays June 30, 2021 at 3:57 PM A lovely poem--succinct and touching. I need to write a darker image of this poem (which was my own experience) where the playground is haunted by unfulfilled hopes of friendship. But I still have a sanctuary in "a hidden corner of my heart," and I think you are alluding to this basic human phenomenon. Line Gauthier June 30, 2021 at 5:18 PM And I will want to read this poem, Carol ~

Jennifer Proxenos June 18, 2021 at 11:57 AM The echoes must be so soothing - the laughter of children - the most innocent of sounds. Blessings and hugs, Jennifer. Line Gauthier June 18, 2021 at 8:04 PM Thanks for your lovely visit, Jennifer ~
