Vibrant Threads of Childhood

Written, September 13, 2024 For the I Form - Imagism Poetry Contest Sponsor, Constance La France Quote: Childhood is the most beautiful of all life's seasons." By Poet ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The sight of the emerald lawn is exquisite_ lavender and azure threads intertwine, elegantly placed in lines of budding leaves, and young kids play and race with endless zest, their upholstery is spread out in the yard. And boxes laden with meals that Mama stuffed, between biscuits, milk, cheese, jelly, and loaf, Sunday outdoor activities are unforgettable.

The sight of children playing on the lawn brings memories of our childhood days. On Sundays and holidays, children of our times had so many delightful outdoor activities. Your poem has revived a number of nostalgic memories in me. Congratulations dear Lasaad on your well deserved POTD

What a beautiful quote, something we all now realise, loved it all but the first four lines took me back to my childhood days, to enjoy the simplicity of a bygone era, congratulations on a truly exquisitely penned poem and potd.
