The Younger Years

by Linda Alexander — Read all 45 poems by Linda Alexander

Childhood . . . most often, I'm so glad it's behind me.

Saturday, June 14, 2003

An adult's childhood memory

Is like a beautiful, but scarred, milk glass picture.

Covered with creamy tissue it's secured under reflection.

The prettiness offers a surrealistic feel of completion,

Even though it can no longer be touched.
