Poetry workshop day. Please share the love/the feels/the words that try to convey the love/the feels. Here’s mine:
Nostalgia
Giggling about a Sesame Street video with my friends . . . .
When I’m approaching fifty.
Driving past the houses with their Christmas joy on parade . . .
With my son driving the car, this time.
Putting up the ornaments reminding me of people, places and pets . . .
Many, who have long passed on.
Trying to recognize the child’s face from a long ago play group . . .
In the Christmas card picture of a lovely young lady, dressed in a wedding gown.
Trying to find just the right thing to eat . . .
to soothe the funny swirl of feelings, aching around in my insides.
The longing that I am pulled to, yet try to avoid, all at the same time . . . .
Nostalgia.
Beautiful.
Thank you. 🙂
