Pure ~ A Collection of Poetry

I Remember

Hey again guys. Hope you don't mind me posting all this at once.

This is pretty self-explanatory. Hope you enjoy!

I remember watching the sun though the trees thinking the leaves looking like gems

I remember playing Pooh Sticks on a wooden bridge, my flip-flops making strange noises

I remember running with fireflies, watching in horror when I squished one

I remember an ice cream cone--one scoop mint chocolate chip, one orange sherbet, topped with sour candies, just to bug my dad

I remember a red-and-gold booth and the best mozzarella cheese sticks

I remember leaning forward when I though no one was watching, pretending I was flying while a motorboat cut across the waves

I remember a car that smelled like vanilla and cinnamon, blasting rock music as I sang along

I remember talking to distract myself from the path I was walking, damp and narrow, and wondering if this was like a tightrope as the rush of a waterfall filled my ears

I remember running between shelves in a store, pretending to be a ninja

I remember mats in a gym, stacked so high they looked like skyscrapers to my small, third-grade eyes

I remember a test of pencils
