My Childhood Friend
MY CHILDHOOD FRIEND (by Michelle L. LeBlanc 03/16/2025) Dedicated to Connie Steeves Our friendship goes way back I believe we were in grade 3? In our brown and beige uniforms At Lower Coverdale Christian Academy At first, I hung out with your sister But little did I ever know That we would become much closer And our friendship would surely grow...

A Childhood Friend
It was a normal day, The day he had his first puff. Children played beneath the sun, And weary songs filled the air. Time didn’t stop as he’d been told, Not even the old man cast a glance As he stammered, "A pack of cigarettes, please." Between his fingers, he held the cigar, For the first time, he felt in control. With a spark,...

Our Two Cents
On my mothers’ group Zoom, Six of us in the “room,” We remember what we used to do When our babies would cry Or, asleep, how they’d lie And what helped us, back then, to get through. What made us reminisce Was, with grandkids now, this – Things are not done the same way today And our children, all grown, With some kids of...

His dad was a Commercial Traveller Who went to work in a suit and tie Didn’t have that weathered complexion From daily working under open sky. They lived last house in Mill Row The village school not very far. Unlike most of village families They’d both a bathroom and a car. He had an electric train set Which he set up one day Then...

Summer Heat Wave
I remember where the sidewalk ended Next to where the old fan palm grew That waved its many hands at me As I walked home from school each day And of course I always waved politely back In childhood anything can be befriended But even as a kid I knew That wind, not wonder, moved the tree Yet I named it Summer Heat...

Were I enamored by a pleasant fragrance, like a magnet, I would draw sniffers to me. If I were covered with filth, I would draw flies. A profaned loud mouth would draw angry ears. A childhood friend drew many girls to himself. On the other hand, they showed no interest in me. I inquired of him a reason for the difference. He...

Premium Member My Friend Yanzi
Taken by circumstances and not by dreams; Blown by winds adrift on just any stream; We grew up together and were the best of friends; but after high school, he disappeared, drifted away. Yanzi went with the flow, never planning where to go. He did not care, and where he was headed, he didn't know. Boarding a bus along the Mexico...

2000 miles is a long way, and 50 plus years is a very long time. It spells the time and space that have separated me and my two best childhood friends. Back then, whether it was hay, ammonia, cowboys, sling shots, or rubber tires, somewhere in the mix were my two friends. Presently, there is a loving memory of...

School Is Full of Fun
School is full of fun, But they say the fun has just begun, But there are some people, Who make the ambiance blue, Yeah, I dedicate this to you, The unwanted commenter who always beeps in through. School is full of fun, But they say the fun has just begun, Because there are friends that are true, Who always have your back in the...

Bowser and Mittens, Pooh, Fluffy and I sat with the Queen for her afternoon tea. Minding our manners, all silent and shy - each of us awestruck by Her Majesty. We all were rescues, she loved us in spite, though we were commoners, she took us in; loved us and fed us each morning and night, asked how our day was and...

Memories sway away Like calendar is torn off Page by page Day by day But Memories can be recycle Till fresh and complete Not torn like the calendar forever A day off from the calendar you feel sad Because you're losing some more time But a pinch from the memories You feel happy Because you are gaining back Some time from the past Whenever I remember her As...

Dear Jack. I see you running toward me with a smile on your face when I call your name. I never saw you in a bad mood, sick, sad, or lonely, or angry for any reason. When we met, our hearts connected and merged together ...

With starting lines in measured meters Down back alleys we would run. Asphalt drawn with borrowed paint Against each other’s clocks. However matter what the speed, Our youth could not outrun The dimming of the light. We ran with ragged t-shirts flying white, Battle-flags of poverty and youth. Swiss cheese costumes trailing From tanned-skin bodies. Cloud-like storms in...
