Here we are at the penultimate day of National Poetry Month.
The NaPoWriMo challenge for Day 29 was to write a poetic memoir of random memories. Mine are all from my early childhood at Mamaw’s house.
NaPoWriMo Day 29 – Memories
I remember winter nights and bonfires,
potato wedges with herbs.
I remember Pan-Stik makeup and rouge,
Inches of greying black curls.
I remember MTV and scrunchies,
dancing in the living room.
I remember fresh tomatoes and corn,
dinners of beans and cornbread.
And I pray that I will never forget.
