Yesterday

by Rachel RTVW   May 15, 2009


Tire swing from branch of Oak
Field of Daisies, grass' cloak
Crick of crayfish, full of clay
Memories of my yesterday

Deer in the woods, quiet step
Home before nightfall crept
Refreshing breeze made lilacs sway
Memories of my yesterday

Garden at grandma's an acre long
In the basement, played ping - pong
On beds of dandelions, I liked to lay
Memories of my yesterday

Crabapple tree, on the climb
Penny candy now a dime
Doors unlocked, it was okay
Memories of my yesterday

Times have changed, feelings not
Some now gone, but none forgot
Reflecting with a fondness today
On memories of my yesterday

    What can I say! This one touched me! Wonderful poem! Full of emotion and very nostalgic. Repetition of the last line made it more rhythmic.

    Some memories of our 'yesterday' never die.
    And once again I loved your poem!

    So many of my yesterday memories include you.......I still see that beautiful curly haired little girl running around with that beautiful smile....saying "I Love you Aunt Ninny"

    Love you Rachel

    This poem is absolutely amazing, I like how you reminisce the fond memories that you had of your past. You made the memories of yesterday feel fresh as if it just happen moments ago.I also like the idea of how you repeatedly used 'Memories of my yesterday'
    through out your stanza. It did work for me and the rhyming was fantastic.

    Excellent Job
