A budding poetess: Paula's poetry

Cousin Paula was just a bright-eyed, preteen, normal little girl! With lots of bounce, laughter, and she and I just hit it off! She was never afraid to express herself to me but the one thing that I shall always remember is that

she gave her treasured collection of poetry so willingly and unselfishly to me.

For just being a kid, I found Paula's poetry to be absolutely stimulating, insightful, and filled with depth. I was so honoured that she shared or rather gave me her prized collection and for this I shall always be grateful.

The years have gone by and although we are no longer close, I still remember this eager, smart, and very intelligent kid! She is now all grown up!

Using poetry to remember

Just another technique to restore and remember what I was able to see in years gone by.  Some people paint in order to remember.  I use words and music to do the same.  I use poetry to create pictures and I sure have a great time.

 

My words spark memories of blue skies, swaying trees, green grass, big fat white snowflakes, silver raindrops, fluffy white clouds, sunrises and sunsets, and so much more.  Colors come to life and faces dance in my mind.  Pictures appear and disappear and memories of occasions creep slowly across my mind.  Times at the beach with family and friends.  Ice skating on outdoor rinks, walking in the fields, and strolling along crowded sidewalks. 

 

In Church at Christmas, Santa Claus happily ringing his bell with kids crowded around, and a plethora of other things.  My beloved poetry helps me to conjure up all of these precious memories.  Ah, my thoughts for today.
