A Nostalgic Poem (in metaphor or simile)
Watching children run through sprinklers, I was struck by nostalgia. Write a poem about your childhood or something sweetly nostalgic, but use a metaphor or simile that particularly relates to it. For example, the children I was watching said the water looked like "silver dolphins" (I'll add my example poem).
No more than 60 words. Nostalgia can be sweet, but often short.
Silver Dolphins...
My childhood too was like silver dolphins
A lazy day dancing in fountains
running through portals
to other worlds...
My own world in which I was lost so often
lost in halls of different identities
--all me.
A princess,
a warrior,
an explorer,
a pirate,
but only a child
running through portals
like silver dolphins...
