Hello!
Today's prompt is about writing a poem with multiple sections, and having it take place somewhere where you used to spend a lot of time, but no longer. I decided to write my poem about Markham where I grew up and a few of the places that popped to mind from my childhood. Enjoy!
Markham
1
The mall of many wonders
stores of trinkets and crafts
and magic dresses
little steps of change each year
to become anew in time.
2
Milne's land
school trips to see the chickadees
girls canoeing on the river
a night of fireworks with friends
a land of exploration and nostalgia.
3
The pond that is too good
sledding down snowy hills
skating on the water
while pancakes served in the building nearby
and ducks swim in the summer.
4
The hill
a place of make believe
so large a place while small
to be nothing once one's grown
where memories were made.
Thanks for reading!
