Flashback

A few months ago I wrote a post about Unwritten Words - that is to say the posts, drawings, writing and other forms of artistic expression that I have created at some point then undone - unwritten in the case of writing i.e. deleted.

I was having a root around my external hard drive, which in itself is an Aladdin's Cave of goodies.  Buried in the far reaches of some obscure folders I found a few Word documents one of them entitled 'Autumn is Here'.  I thought I would share it.  This is a poem, admittedly not my best but I am 23 years old now and this was written when I was all of 8 or 9 years of age.  My teachers were always quite supportive of anything I or my classmates wrote, stories and poetry included.  In high school one of my classmates even wrote a play while a few wrote fan fiction, wholeheartedly encouraged by our teachers.  I remember one guy bringing in a story he wrote that must of been somewhere between 300 and 500 pages long, typed on A4 regular sized font etc no attempt to cheat to make it seem more.

So here is a little flashback for you to share with me: [unedited]

'A Year Has Passed'

Autumn is here
Have no fear
In come the dark nights
Hallows eve with spooks and frights

Delicious food
The Christmas Prelude
Burnt orange and sunny amber
Cool crisp nights of September

Winter is here
Have no fear
Reds and greens of Christmas Lights
Wrapped up in bed on the cold dark nights

A marvellous spread
All the things we did and said
Christmas day so full of presents
All the day we feel Christ's presence

Spring is here
Have no fear
The lambs are born
Early in the Morn

Bright sky at night
The sailor’s delight
The rivers run
Feel the heat of the rising sun

Summer is here
Have no fear
Holidays full of fun
No worries just lie in the sun

The longer days have come
Loved but hated by some
A year has come and passed
But our memories will always last
