(lipogram - no letter ‘e’)

A longing look back at dusty thoughts colors my musings of childhood days. I miss my Mom's hugs, cross-country trips, and phantasmagorical picnics. My imagination starts to stir; conjuring up past visions of fun. And I wish that I could go hog-wild; or switch curiosity back on. Thinking about family outings instantly summons up happy thoughts. My mind oft lovingly looking back; at a past without guilt or worry. Occasionally; I wish I could go back to what I had long ago. For a pang of nostalgia calls forth an amalgamation of lost joys.

That's probably one of the most restricting and difficult forms of poetry. You did well Emile ( as always). A most enjoyed poem. It deserved its placing most admirably. Best wishes from SV
