Back In The Day
FredPeyer said:

While we should not live in the past, we can reminisce. You said that beautifully with this poem, AP. Something to ponder too is that today will be tomorrows past and be looked upon as the \'good old days\'!

When I Was Just a Boy
Laura🌻 said:

A great read, AP!
The poem and visual remind me of a wonderful children’s book, THE DANDELION SEED by Joseph Anthony. I used the book to teach the seasons, the seed’s journey after it was wind blown, and appreciating the challenges it had to overcome.

I feel for today’s youth! Too much to bear!

orchidee said:

A fine write AP. There are things now which make it seem like past days were \'the good old days\'.
\'I remember when....\' Agghh, no please, Orchi, not remembrances of millions of years ago! As boring as showing us your holidays snaps\'. heehee.

Wonderful write. Inspiration is all around us, we see so much that the words within us seem to queue up in droves to be written.

What If…
FredPeyer said:

AP, your \'what if\' poem got me thinking too now. Not that I would want to be with them, just wondering what happened to them. And yes, it is \'them\' not \'her\'! Guess I was busy when I was young! :-)

AP,
Thank you for this
INSPIRATIONAL write!
I listened to “The Circle
Game” lyrics by Tom Rush!
Enjoyed it very much!
This is what really grabbed
my attention...

“Were captive on the
carousel of time
We can’t return, we can
only look behind from
where we came”!

What If…
Michael Edwards said:

In law the question we always asked was \'What if ?\' . In answering it we only considered points of fact. Takes me back. But I guess it\'s different here where there can never be an answer in fact - only in unfounded speculation. But sometimes it\'s nice to dream

orchidee said:

Good write AP. Oh woe, it\'s too late for me. What if I had never married KP? But I have! lol.

Goldfinch60 said:

What if? The most asked question in our lives and one that can never be answered. Good write AP.

What If…
myself and me said:

Life fills with all kinds of what ifs. These what ifs are hope, surprise, maybe pain too. wish your what if come true.

February 16th, 2018 08:44

What If…
Laura🌻 said:

AP,
I agree with Lorna!
What if you tried to
find her?

She might be thinking
of the same what ifs!
As Lorna commented,
she too may be thinking
and wondering the same
what ifs about you!
Thank you for sharing
your thoughts about
Sharon...once again!

Good question to describe such a longing A.P - - an engaging read.

What If…
Lorna said:

Moody Blues this morning! Thanks AP! There\'s a yearning in this poem that will make you sad! Maybe just great to think you still have this wonderful feeling about her after all these years and in real life it might have disappeared! Plus (being a woman) she is probably thinking the same thing. Who knows.... maybe you will both find each other again - have you tried?

If You Only Knew
Lorna said:

Love is love and this one can\'t be spoiled by anything now...... and maybe it\'s the same for her! It\'s there for you to hold on to no matter what bad things may happen......... maybe better than real life! Plus loved the music AP.

If You Only Knew
Laura🌻 said:

AP,
I know we’ve discussed
your love for Sharon in
the past. An everlasting
love! I’m so happy you
wrote this poem for her!
I enjoyed the read and Kris
Kristofferson very much!
Thank you for the sharing!

kevin browne said:

Loved reading this, AP, your work will make everyone reminisce all the way to the day when we fell in love for the first time. Think I must of been 8 when I was being attacked by loves conformity , I can\'t remember her name but the feeling I still remember to this day. I\'m quite a prolific love poem writer and it\'s always good to read others write them too, but with a touch of class obviously, just like you have done right here. a tenderly written piece about love, well written, AP.
