Catapults and Boiled Sweets

Catapults and boiled sweets
Sailing boats and jam jars
Watching tadpoles
Playing in the woods
Hunting newts
Swings and roundabouts
Wistful thinking
For the days
That never were

    I love the rhythm of this one, and that last line is so good. It left me feeling that sense of nostalgia I often have for a life I didn’t live.

      Thank you, there are flashes of my own nostalgia in there, for some that I did live and some I wish I had.
