Of one Time-beat, droopy
For what of its sound was thrown up
A neighbourhood, joy-free.

I still recall how I once felt,
a young boy, as I knelt.
There were pigs, cows, and chickens.
I laughed like the dickens
before a board of felt.

Childhood Memories

We were young sweet boys
playing in forest with dry and fresh wood
no one ever climbed so high
The hero among us, left her beloved ones with zero son

Roast Chicken

My grandma in her garden
picking peas, beans and carrots
and digging up potatoes -
roast chicken for lunch.

Childhood Memory Blank

So,
one
of the
things I
miss the 
most about
my childhood 
is teleporting; do
you remember going
to sleep on the sofa and
then waking up in your bed

Last Sunday

When I saw the slide
in the children’s park,
the child inside me ordered 
“Go, climb and slide”
I did so;
Due to my age, 
it was a bit slow flow.
but a great show

LEAVES cascade for the Earth Fall's salutations swept into frail mountains laughing, we dive; they crumble "brittle blades breathes a vibrant life"

Good Things Come Small Too

It was the little house
Where Mom and Dad
Weren’t always angry

Love was there
In the small house
It was our home

And long before
The bigger houses
The money fights
Or the divorce…

I Want My Mummy

A small figure
In flannelette nightie
Left alone and defenceless
In a world of rejection;
Stands,crying pitifully
With arms outstretched
Reaching for the hand of love-
Only to be denied.

Looking Glass

       Poem by Panagiota Romios


            brings back memories
            haze of cotton candy days
            plus limitless play

A Kite

My kite’s white string drifts.
Sunlight shines through its canvas -
leaf, shell, feather. Wisp of cloud.

Up, away, lost, gone - 
floating from my childhood hands.
They grasp air, clutching nothing.

CHILDHOOD MEMORY

A scuffling in the chimney,
Scary for an eight-year old.
Could it be the Bogey Man,
Coming down to eat me up
Or maybe just a nightmare?
Trembling, I switch on the light.
Oh! Hello Father Christmas
Form: Verse

Premium Member Childhood Memory

I loved jumping waves on our
family vacations to
random seashores in my youth.
Once in my early childhood,
it was sunny as we drove;
then when we got to the beach . . .

clouds collected; the sky wept.

childhood summers
pop beneath mischievous feet
bubbles tar my toes
sticky steps pull up dry grass
feed for blackened sheep and soles

Premium Member MEMORY - MOUNTAINS

Ozark Mountain trails my small bare feet once knew
where whippoorwills stitched dusk with trilling song.
The hills held dusk and my dreams in shades of pine blue
and taught my heart where quiet souls belong.

Premium Member Childhood Memory

Finger dipping; in a jar 
Peanut butter soothed my taste 
Yet, when the blur first begun  
I remember those lights- still
Strange faces surrounding thee 
And when I awoke, just then 
Twenty stitches sewn my palm

Lunch Box-Hc

Three pancakes mom gave
         
                 One I save ... your lunch box fell
