Reminisce I often reminisce my time And sink back in the snow of prime Where youth was spent on dear and beer And I ignored the state of fear Sixty years or so ago It was in Alaska’s snow Checking engines made for war Frozen shadows on the floor Where freezing metal caught my skin And only flame could freedom win With ice upon my bearded lip And clouds from nose with frozen drip Where shadows froze upon the ground And to this day are still around Just dig on down the sixty years And there am I with my piers Hustling a war ago In Alaska’s frozen snow |

I often reminisce my time And sink back in the snow of prime Where youth was spent on dear and beer And I ignored the state of fear Its amazing the things we dont think important when we are younger Sey and then as we mature we see things in a different ligt. Enjoyed your ponderings much this morning my friend. Good Morning. The greatest beauty on earth, is |

Brrrrrr ....... these memories make me shiver in cold. This means you write so well and captivatingly, that I "enter the scene". And you made surface a most vivid childhood memory of ice and cold .... when among children we were silly enough in cold Winter back in Switzerland to show our courage to each other by sticking our tongues on a frozen iron bar, where it stuck, as long as our breaths didn't melt the ice! I love your reminiscing! .... "when we did not know fear!" Yes, that's youth! Love and hugs. Margherita  |

Sy "Where shadows froze upon the ground And to this day are still around" Thank you for this above, it is so original that it caught me in the wonder of it. I have never lived in the cold, and after reading your poem, I don't think I want to. My shadow always melts in the sun and when I come inside, I know it is gone. I looked. Thanks for digging, and finding this in your past's treasure box.  |

 Hi, Seymour! So you were there....I had a friend named Tom Beard who was there, too. This poem seemed much different than many you've written. It feels like it has a very special significant and thanks for sharing it. ......jo |

I enjoyed this read of reminisce. I also enjoy learning more about my favourite sonneteer! Big, extra-warm hugs to take out that Alaskan chill that may still be lingering in your bones!  EA P.S. I can't get that image of icicles hanging from your proboscus! lol Love you! |
