I so enjoyed the poems on childhood memories, I am adding the same picture as before.
Lets share the joys of our childhood, the games we played outdoors, the fun we had when all the neighbor kids gathered together to have a game of hide' n seek. The swimming hole, the boys chasing the girls, with some nasty critter in hand. The screams of delight the screams of fright.
now open to prewrites as long as they fit the prompts below.
Your prompt is: the picture or
remember when we played as children,
joys of childhood.
toys forgotten.
Rules;

Oh comment on other's poems, you might get a laugh or two. thats not a rule just a nice thing to do.
Play nice, have fun, that is a rule, lol.
