One Single Impression: Childhood Memories
Childhood Memories
memories here of my childhood
farm boy trying to recall
I can not remember much
in our model "A" Ford coupe
riding on the package shelf
on to grandma's place we go
while my mom her work not done
washing little family's clothes
played and played in grandma's grove
sitting there out on the porch
exploring some newly found
loving all my grandma's help
when new car we were to get
grandma heard it first from me
whipping from my pop I got
mom and dad were shucking corn
grandpa's trailer trailed behind
for me playing in the corn
memories these of my childhood
preschool no more I recall
till six can't remember much
all there is for you to know

The same goes for my poetry attempts (don't know how, but I enjoy it!).

alpha and omega
Thanks for sharing what you recall! Grandma sure was special. Fun stuff here, Jim. Thanks.
whipping from your pop you got? Oh no, Jim!
Thanks for sharing these nice little nuggets of memory!
Some great memories. I could feel I was almost there with you.
I miss both my grandmas. Looks like we came from the same ilk. Following the crops. Have a great day Jim. :)
Ahhhh...such a nice walk down memory lane (except for the 'licking')
Some of my best childhood memories were made while at my grandparents.
Excellent poem.
Nice pieces posted here! They all stir memories for your readers...
thank you for the glimpse... a most enjoyable read...
Jim, interesting phrasing there. Good memories mixed with bad. I suppose we all have some of those. I've had my hide tanned a few times too!
