“The lunatic, the lover, and the poet, are of imagination all compact.”
― William Shakespeare, A Midsummer Night's Dream

 

Laughing at my grandpaw,

Cows eating up the grass,

Magic garage door opener,

Point-and-click to the past.


Pictures, I remember that!

Push and shove and shout,

Eating alligator on a stick,

Funny how all it worked out.


How he’d loved to cook,

Brownie-mix-water-stir,

Microwave, Beeeep.

Proud, oh yes-sir!


JFK they took away,

Kennedy dead, gray.

Like your memories,

Bookending each day.

Kennedy dead, gray.
Like your memories,

perfect title. you did a great job starting off with a personal memory, and ending it with a far reaching memory. vivid imagery. you didn't drag it out and go on and on, but rather kept it short and to the point with fine details. Still the words make you think! like your style.

keep writing,
