POEM STARTER

Submitted by Susan Santizo

Write a poem about a place which makes you feel nostalgic.

You can write in any style or genre, but keep this as the central theme.

Fragrance Of Lyon

Fresh warm baguette and dark solid chocolate

Spotless roads and benches that anyone could lie on

Refereshing femine wind and the sublime gradient sky painted by the crème de la crème

Animate herbs, plants and flowers meticulously placed along the streets for a pleasant scenery

The serene and intriguing library in vicinity of our apartment full of various genres taking one to a living tale

Familiar “Lidl” at the side accompanied by myriads of encounters with individuals


——————-


I called it “Parking”

Why ? It has nothing to do with a parking lot

Nonetheless it has all to do with laughter and warm souvenirs

The waters were performing several dances of some sort

The structure made by the artisan seemed to have been touched with an abundance of love for it

My roller skater and the smooth ground were best pals

I remember him too, he told me my hair looked good even though I didn’t think the same.

Abnormal sized Insects that were intoxicated with my back for some reason

Haha, I don’t miss them ~

Now there was an exception

The tingling yet soothing sensations when I welcomed them on the palm of my hand

I would name them Ladybugs but there weren’t too lady-like as their natural habitat was similar to that of a hard-worker

Worker bugs would be a nice name perharphs ?

“Park”

How could I forget this one ?

My second home and captivated territory

It could change to anything at anytime

One day it was about educational health camps

Another day it would be a place filled with stimulating activities nurturing our profound memories

For me, it was the swing and the tree. The swing took me so high that my leg could greet the tree a good morning, a good afternoon and a good night.

There is also the sandman and Sakura tresses

No matter how deep we digged a hole on sandman, we couldn’t reach it’s foundations

We used his body for our construction site

Sakura tresses was the fittest environment for a picnic with families and friends

I climbed her arms one of these days to have a look at the “other side”


—————


Sweet crepes spread with halzenut chocolate folded into each other

The sweet smell that would entice me near my school

I never knew where that aroma came from but I know that it was infused in my senses so that I wouldn’t forget this setting

Hmm, I remember the smiles, laughter and experiences

Some were about that chaotic yet funny games

Another was when a student’s birth was kicking at the door, celebrations would warmly welcome his guests

The celebrants of that month would have to bring in something worth an anniversary

All with elated countenance at which the whole class would eat the savoury cake, Haribo sweets and fresh juice.


————-


The thoughts of naivety and purity

It started from a intriguing anime called “Mew Mew power”

From there, this young but inquisitive lady wouldn’t stop thinking that romance was a realistic fantasy

A romance that was from within and an authentic sentiment

Feeding her heart with passionate gestures and cravings

The beginning of a intense fellowship with someone she would have never thought of

Can you guess who it is ?


————-


Me and my manual scooter had a lot of adventures

I’m aware of the amount of time we almost ended up entering into a mess because of the unusual frequency at which I rode it



There we’re innocent and pure times indeed

Wish they lasted longer

Definitely will come back to say hello

So please wait for me

Just a bit more

To receive kisses

Of Eternal nostalgia

….
