Let me glorify the past and seek solace in coloured memories. Let me feed my aching middle-aged soul with celebrations of youthful years gone by.<\/p>\n
I know I am still in my “youthful” years. But I feel older. I feel cynical. I see greys than pinks. Often I feel the need to exist than excitement. Somehow the youth lingers around. You just can’t run away from it I guess.<\/p>\n
In memory of the childhood gone by, a haiku<\/p>\n
Yellow Copper pod buds<\/p>\n
Blooms, dances, overwhelms senses<\/p>\n
Youth so odd and fun<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Changing by the day<\/p>\n
The school bell peals loud laughter<\/p>\n
Youth awkward and loud<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Move, Move, Run, Run Fast<\/p>\n
Sudden storms darken the sky<\/p>\n
Youth fleeing wet, slick<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Laughter fills the air<\/p>\n
Unadulterated joy of youth<\/p>\n
Screams, shrieks, giggles<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Personality grows<\/p>\n
Friendships and relationships<\/p>\n
Shaping youth, life.<\/p>\n
