Childhood Nights

How sweet our former lives.

Me on the left Tony in the middle and Kerny on the right

 

 

 

In dreams of my sweet former life

 with the wonders childhood poses

I find those friends I left behind

still so young and fresh like roses

I wonder if to them I'm old

when they think upon occasion

Do they wonder as, I do

of that inner child's persuasion

To me they are the cherished ones

memories of lost summer nights

When we played hide and seek till dark

enriched by all life's smells and sights

In dreams they live on as before

echoes of games we use to play

I start each night as they ended

with the dreams from yesterday

Reviews

[Cassandra D.]

I'm completely speechless.
This was a very wonderful poem.

[Gary McDonald]

There's definitely something special here, but it wouldn't be Tate if there wasn't. You write with such a broad range of themes, and this one i just loved!
"We start my nights as we ended.
With the dreams from yesterday."
You've perfectly painted the innocence of childhood, and in doing so, brought a smile to my face. Fantastic writing!!

[Wolfe Greytome]

Wonderful piece...especially since I too have lately had the opportunity to travel down memory lane with some folks from my past.

[Havatara]

I'm sorry but the first 2 stanzas didn't really make much sense to me. I don't know if it's because it's late or what, but I was especially confused by the line "The one I live in darkened closes." However, I loved the last 2 stanzas very much. They were very well written.

[Brianna Brie]

Excellent write! The innocence of childhood is much to be cherished. Lovely thoughts.

[Abhinav]

[vandana]

In dreams they live on as before.
Like kind thoughts I think and say.
We start my nights as we ended.
With the dreams from yesterday.
