Do not worry about 'likes' this challenge is monarchy.
Thank you,

It warms my heart when I see young people who have recently joined our amazing writing group- Prose. It restores my faith in poetry, knowing it will live on.
Think of this as an english class and I am the teacher. Please share with me your 'own' poem, that has never before been in any challege or published here on the prose. It can be about anything. Poetry only (I prefer verse, with an awareness for simple grammar) although it is not mandatory.
I will read each piece thoroughly.
Please tag me after you have entered.
Please be patient if I do not review the same day you enter. I want to give every write the attention it deserves.
*Everyone will receive a review.
I am not a writing expert, reviews are based on my own experience of reading and writing poetry for many decades and what I have learned from my editors.
*These reviews are my opinion.
Thank you and have fun!

memories of you
My memories of you
Begin with summer afternoons doing nothing
But playing the same, meaningless games
That I always seemed to win
Summer afternoons doing nothing
Followed by an autumn full of action
Races where I never seemed to win
With high school no longer, a made-up nightmare
An autumn full of action
Brought a winter full of hope
Snow days let us pretend that high school was a made-up nightmare
New Year’s had us make false promises, like everybody else
Winter full of hope
Lead to a hopeless spring
No time to study for all our tests, like everybody else
And a new job, meant a new location
A hopeless spring
Made me treasure my memories of you
Still hating the new location
Despite the discovery of your true games
