a day -- sunlight creates

dreams and a surprise platter

of spaghetti supper.

 

I’m eight again in

my mind and life is full--

I’m in love

with the world.

Writing a meaningful poem in seven lines is a new challenge for me. It helps me focus on an issue and I find it stimulating. My wish is for my readers to enjoy this joy of writing.

The joy comes over very strongly, Richard.  The simplest of things often provide the strongest of memories, and you have captured that well here.

Your memories keep you alive, as do mine. I could relate to this one Richard.

Thank you for sharing.

Jenny.

Growing older is a blessing, Jenny. Almost being like an eagle perched on the side of a mountain atop an enduring barkless tree where a retirement nest allows us.to revel in the past and its adventures. Then to leap into an updraft of new words to create another episode in life.
