When being driven ‘round by dad, Down remote country street, She loved the roads with trees on side When overhead, did meet. “Each time I drive on such a road I just feel so secure As if the leaves and branches strong O’erhead, safety, conjure.” Did venture down such road today. Branches with leaves did pack, And as I saw that canopy, Mum’s memory was brought back. To me, such road is ‘mummies road’ No matter what it’s called A sense of being comforted Bad memories, been stalled.

It’s strange that as the years go by Old folk, they younger, get I have a mem’ry from quite young, I still can recall, yet. I would have still been very young But old enough to hear And understand all that was said By those I held so dear. In our village, with mother, From church, a girl, we met, Who’d be, late teens to twenties T’forget this, mum didn’t let. After initial greeting, Which really was quite short,                                                                                                                         A compliment was given,                                                                                                                            On this, I do report.                                                                                                                                                          “You’re looking good today Mrs Ross”                                                                                                          

Hi-fi enthusiast I dare you to write a 49-word poem, not including  the title, using the following words: scribblers,hurting, thunder, audiophiles. My ears they are a hurting . Our sons are audiophiles, In MY young days, just earplugs. When we would travel miles. Their ‘music’, LOUD as THUNDER. Whereas, my era - calm. Their eardrums burst asunder MY music, soothing balm. US, pen and paper scribblers. No ’tablets’, or pods in palm .

There are 'tears of sorrow' There's also 'tears of JOY, They're not assigned specifically To females, OR young boy. Depends on circumstances, It's NOT, a sign, you're weak, An inner felt emotion, Your tear ducts, they do tweak.
