Images Of Childhood Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Images Of Childhood



Beautiful white flowers on a branch, placed in a vase
of water, after having been cut from their childhood
abode - a tree.
Dogwood flowers reminding images of New Jersey a long
time ago.
Now memories in a part of grey matter from when young.
Touching their beauty and sacredness with senses
strong enough to smell their scent still.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Those dogwood flowers have always stayed freshly in my mind for all these years. I can still see myself reaching and breaking them off to give my Mom to put on the dining room table.
