Notes About The Poem

repost from 2008 inspired by Constance contest theme

Old Times Time

Do you remember
Skipping with a rope..alone
Or catching 'jacks' with stones.
Do you recall
Tennis against an old brick wall
Or conker contests in the fall.
Did you chalk out hopscotch squares
Play make believe,games of dare
Hide and seek or touch and run
In a childhood wrapped in fun.
Is simplicity a thing of the past
Will life in a circle turn
Will common sense..return?

I do remember trying to entertain myself in all of these ways.

Enjoyed this, remembering playing such games. These days common sense seems to be as common as tact and grace, that is to say rare, but certainly appreciated. xomo
