Emile Pinet Poet Blank verse

Nostalgia

A longing look back at dusty thoughts
colors my musings of childhood days.
And I miss Mom's hugs, outings, and 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 groupings
instantly summons up happy thoughts.
And my mind oft lovingly looks back,
to a past without guilt or worry.

Occasionally, I wish I could
go back to what I had long ago.
And that pang of nostalgia calls forth
an amalgamation of lost joys.
