Notes About The Poem

12/21/2025

Childhood Memories - My reaction to my first school crush was to retreat. 

Image concept by Poet using DALL-E (2025-12-21)

sweaty hands

1950s kindergarten
cute, dark-haired girl
in jumper dress
bright red tights
walking towards me
smiling...

I run away
with sweaty hands

Your "sweaty hands" is a fun/creative write. Fun/cute picture. I bet the girls also had sweaty hands. I enjoyed reading. "Good Luck" if for a contest. Have a Very Blessed Christmas and New Year 2026 writing away.............
