Beautiful poem Valerie, more poignant because I head the same way.
I've got you on my favourite poets list because your words are always so inspiring. For goodness sake don't stop writing! The world is better for it! Dawn xx
A rich refreshing river of beauty and inspiration!
'Wistful thoughts of precious childhood Drift through valleys of my mind' A universal experience, beautifully and nostalgically portrayed! !
Lovely write, paints a beautiful picture. Enjoyed the rhythm.
What a excellent poem! One that I can relate to perfectly. It expresses exactly how I feel now after all the great expectations have finally subsided to succumb to the reality of it all. Though how you described the carefree childhood days of long ago was said so perdectly, and in perfect flow. You are an amazing poet, Val. I always look forward to the next one! Thank you!
A fantastic poem, really like it, if we knew then what we know now, it would have made our growing years a lot wiser.
Lovely poem Val, as always; but you're not thinking of 'going' just yet I hope?
How lovely, one of my favourites Valerie
