Jenna Logan Poet Terza Rima

With Fond Memories

"How sweet to the heart are the scenes of my childhood"
                        Samuel Woodworth, 1785-1842



With fond memories my heart embraces
childhood days of innocent impressions
and plush playmates with adoring faces

Dolls and tea sets were my prized possessions
Forming angels with friends in Winter's snow
and making silly facial expressions

I gathered wild flowers in the meadow
and plaited wreaths to wear in my long hair
Selling lemonade with my best friend, Jo.

In my younger days I didn't have a care
In make-up, pearls, and high heels, I was dressed
Ignoring Mom when she'd say, "Don't you dare!"

Affectionately, my fingers caressed
photos in scrapbooks of my early days
Years of my life when I was richly blessed

My vision is blurred by a teary haze
Recalling those years, today and always

Jennifer Proxenos November 25, 2020 at 9:52 AM My childhood was wonderful, my teens were great and boarding school at the Convent was such fun, the Dominican order were not really strict with us at all, and whatever my age is now, would not swap my life for anything or with anyone. However my most care free days I agree with you were my childhood days and I also used to dress up in my mom high heels, dresses and put her make up on, got gently scolded! Hugs and blessings, Jennifer. Lovely poem bringing many memories back my friend. Good Luck! Jenna Logan November 25, 2020 at 3:04 PM What a wonderfully positive outlook you have, Jennifer. I'm delighted to hear your childhood was filled with good memories. Hugs and thank you!

Tom Cunningham November 25, 2020 at 7:38 AM They say your childhood years are the best and you look back and think how true that is. Tom Jenna Logan November 25, 2020 at 3:03 PM I can remember as far back as 4...but only one certain incident. Thanks for the nice comment, Tom.

John Gondolf November 25, 2020 at 5:43 AM I enjoyed hearing your fond memories of a happy childhood. Still a rebel at heart, eh, I never would have guessed. :) Have a great Thanksgiving my friend. Hugs. Jenna Logan November 25, 2020 at 3:02 PM I think there's a bit of a rebel in everyone. Thanks for the wishes for a great day, and I wish the same for your day, John.

Peter Dome November 25, 2020 at 5:11 AM Bravo Jenna, Love these great visuals. The rebel teenager. Just been writing about my own childhood. Spooky!. well done. Hope you win.take care. Jenna Logan November 25, 2020 at 3:01 PM Thanks so much, Pete. You had a spooky childhood? Oh my.

Silent One November 25, 2020 at 3:49 AM Lovely memories and i can see the rebel in you, but all children rebel to some point... When we are young we want to be adults and when we are adults we want to be kids again.... nice entry for the contest.. Jenna Logan November 25, 2020 at 4:12 AM That's definately true, though I'm content with where I am at the moment. I'm still a rebel at heart. Thanks for the thoughtful comments.
