<\/p>\nI had a hard time coming up with a word for J but if I could think of one word to encompass my childhood it is JOY. I had my moments of despair, desperation but luckily I remember the joy more than the desolate.<\/p>\n
I remember the joy in getting a letter from a friend. The joy when you hear the teacher is not coming to class. The joy when you run into a friend at the store. Giggles, sand, sun and joy.<\/p>\n
Celebrating the joys of childhood with a haiku<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Bubblegum pleasures<\/p>\n
Days that fade into each other<\/p>\n
Oh joys of childhood<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Screaming hoarse cheering<\/p>\n
Shared samsas, candies, ice lollies<\/p>\n
Oh joys of childhood<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Homework abandoned<\/p>\n
An unexpected visitor<\/p>\n
Oh joys of childhood<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
A treat to cherish<\/p>\n
Crisp pearly pages of a new book<\/p>\n
Oh joys of childhood<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Bruised knees, sweaty palms<\/p>\n
Riding high shoulders of teammates<\/p>\n
Perfect winning goal<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The blush of first crush<\/p>\n
Heart races, sneaking glances<\/p>\n
Oh joys of childhood<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
A task done well<\/p>\n
A praise, a cheer, and a clap<\/p>\n
Oh joys of childhood<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The punch of first love<\/p>\n
The soaring highs and love notes<\/p>\n
Oh joys of childhood<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Daydreaming in class<\/p>\n
Whispering rain on window pane<\/p>\n
Oh joys of childhood<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Red dancing balloon<\/p>\n
A bat, a note, a letter<\/p>\n
Oh joys of childhood<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Another week of A to Z done. Come back on Monday for K: Kindergarten<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
