…a Moment in Time

<p>

She sparkles when
she smiles…her face
lights up in beauteous wonder
at the world of quixotic tastes
buying hats in Paris…the wide
brims…
society pieces
with the fat black
bows in back make her
almost feel
like a gentlewoman
or a model…not
running barefoot through
vineyards of Tuscany
she remembers
Grandpa calling out “andiamo!”
“mangiare!” come on…eat!
…she knew it was time to stop
daydreaming again. She sat
with slender
sun-browned legs curled
under
bouncing up and down
demanding
the first taste
of the much-anticipated
bottle…his prize
a superb year, he had said
two years ago. At eleven
she was spoiled happy. Aaah,
the excitement…she chose a
hat finally…grinning.

Thanks for reading...this is a "happy memory" poem, one of those from childhood that pops into your head at the weirdest times years later?

Dear Therese,

Very pleasant and joyous write and read! Made me ponder also of some great memories. Thank you for that.

Thanks much for reading PD! Great memories are always good, as opposed to sad or angry ones ...especially the ones that make us smile those secret smiles! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

the title to this is perfect... this whole heartfelt story is indeed a moment in time.... a moment that the main character holds dear enough to be reminded of.... nothing beats the memories of childhood carelessness... i find myself often wishing i could step back into my childhood... snuggle up, and fall asleep.... your write, therese... touching

Thanks BOTS!! ha! I wish I could go back to sitting on the beach with a huge bonfire and listening to uncles tell 'Anansi and Brer Tiger" stories.
