Adding and subtracting numbers,
Searching rivers and mountains on a paper,
Trying to understand - plants do breathe,
And memorizing those kings and queens,
When homework was the only difficulty in life,
The ephemeral worries of childhood

An unusual word 'Ephemeral'……i learnt a new word today :).
ReplyDeleteLove the description of homework in your poem….really evokes memories of childhood...
Thank you. :) I am glad we met through this challenge.
DeleteTerrific word! Ahhh...to go back to the simplicity of childhood. If only the youth wasn't wasted on the young!
ReplyDeleteHi Donna,
DeleteYes, the simplicity of childhood when we thought "homework" was that only difficult thing in life lest we had known it was such a short-lived worry. :)
Loved it again! A mixture of simplicity, profound, and the natural rhythm I must say! Keep Writing!
