Childhood Memories
of listening to music
My parents would when they were younger
of laying in leaves with my younger sister
Filling plastic bags with faces full
of Jen, Mike, and I
Spraying snow with squirt bottles full of kool-aid
Building snow forts with Mom
of being pulled up and down the road by Dad
In a red wooden wagon
Childhood Memories
of sisters dancing
Dancing with each other
Dancing with Teddy
of brothers and Legos
spaceships and boats
Building all sorts of things
of chalk fights and bubbles
of Mike telling me he would to tickle me until I pee myself
of Big Mama and crayon blanky
of dresses and long hair so long it touched my booty
Childhood Memories
Some are beautiful and
funny unforgettable
Some are ugly and
horrific unbelievable
But people have them
Childhood Memories
Whether we like it or not we have them
Childhood Memories
Watching the sky and dressing up
Snowmen and dandelions

u picked some really interesting, unique, vivid memories! i really really really liked this, but kind of disconnected, maybe should either just list them all or put them all under seasons. just 2 make it a little more consistent. and maybe better without the whole reflection thing at the end, just keep it a list poem and let the memories speak 4 themselves. oh, and i agree with autopsy report that using names made it personal and uniquely urs. so yeah, great job!

You told me about the snow kool-aid once. I like how you used family names in this, it makes it feel much more personal.
