Notes About The Poem

"How dear to this heart the scenes of my childhood,

when fond recollections present them to view ! "

I Remember

 
I remember the house of my childhood, my room where sun came creeping in the morn; the flowers and mother's voice like tinkling bells, and the mighty tree where I used to swing; the covered porch where I had tea parties for dolls, oh, I remember it all like it was yesterday . . . _______________________ August 29, 2021 Poetry/Verse/I Remember Copyright Protected, ID 08-1385188-29 All Rights Reserved, 2021, Constance La France Written for the Standard contest, Bite Size No 19 sponsor, Line Gauthier, Judged 09/04/2019 First Place

Congratulations on your win. A "Wonderful" story/write. I can see it all before me. Love your line, "oh, I remember it all like it was yesterday" Many things we can see from years ago like they were only yesterday. I bet the dolls loved the tea parties. Have a blessed day.......................

A snapshot in time captured beautifully in six lines. When I first read your work Constance I felt would like another verse just to know a little more but then I thought - no, maybe not - It's more a testament to your clever writing style that you have given just enough information to draw this reader in to then allow me to share in 'what was'. Congratulations & Cheers - Gary
