Notes About The Poem

9/28/2025 for Memory of Youth Poetry Contest sponsored by Nette Onclaud

Memory of Youth

Grandma and Grandpa's 
on the floor with model trains 
friendly grey-haired people laugh 

some mix of feelings!  
brand new experiences - 
to be...a kid...a grandpa

I can just barely remember that. I wanted to mention the peanut butter cookies, but there's only so many syllables :-))
