Notes About The Poem

One On One With Myself Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Nette Onclaud Written 2/15/2026

 

My 4-YEAR OLF SELF

Memories of a bright rustic sun glow
Embracing the balmy warmth of the day.
I was a very unfettered tomboy.
Wild attitude and curiosity
Afraid of nothing, equal to the boys.
Chasing butterflies and picking flowers.
Among the blend of emerald-green fields.

sara Etgen-Baker February 15, 2026 at 5:01 PM I, too, was a tomboy...grew up in a home and neighborhood with all boys....definitely helped me enter a workforce which at the time was predominatly male....they didn't intimidate me. Well done contest entry.
