Flash's From The Past Poem by Kaila George

I walked into a shop the other day

and from behind I thought I saw my mum

She had the same build, silver grey hair rolled up in a bun

That always sits on top of her head...she even talked loud

Like my mum does...kinda freaked me out...really it did

Then not long after that....I was sitting in our local pub

Just enjoying a few beers after work

When I thought I heard a man laugh that sounded like my dad

I looked around and there he was tall like my dad white hair like my dad

pot belly like my dad, walked like my dad...but when he turned

And I saw his face.....I sighed with relief thinking...damn I'm not going mad

Doesn't that just get to you, when you see flash's from the past
