Nostalgia Poems
In the Good Old Days
by Evelyn Judy Buehler
We were all much younger, happier then,
And untouched by heartache, sadness;
In dreams, we go back again and again,
And bring to our hearts gladness!
From Grandpa Frank, father of the Fields,
And Miss Pauline, who married his boy;
The hand of fate's no longer concealed,
As countless descendents live the joy.

An Elephant never forgets
by Author Reinvented
"An Elephant never forgets", they say.
An Elephant never forgets.
From the moment they're born
Sixty to seventy years more,
And yet an Elephant never forgets.
I think about how an Elephant never forgets,
No, an Elephant never forgets.
Their mother's embrace,
Their favored drinking place,

Autumn Joy and Nostalgia
by Evelyn Judy Buehler
Orange blooms at dusk
goblins in the pumpkin patch
rich fall's come again
ghosts haunt dark cool nights
scarecrows wave in harvest fields
sad trees weep colors
devils on doorsteps
trick or treat candy cane lane

by Scott Biggerstaff
Glory he only knew in retrospect -
a life misremembered,
time's gentle mercy
insidious slow poison senescence.
He's doubled over in reverie -
photoshopped recollections,
swapped sense of self,
Change's open wound embrace
ignored.

All Good Things Come to an End
by Ian Fraser
Closing a good book is like losing a friend.
But alas, all good things come to an end.
It’s like that perfect Fall day,
When the weather is just right.
Then you remember that it won’t stay,
And Winter’s just in sight.
Or those days you had as a kid,
Spending time with your grandparents.

Journey
by Okunola iyanuoluwa
In the road in my car i am,
I turn the dial, searching for a familiar tune,
Jazz, a pop, any instruments to bring my sustenance,
Miles pass, the road stretching endlessly ahead,
Static takes over, silencing the music,

Can I go Back?
by Kailey Norris
Let me sit by the brick fireplace,
Let me wade the river in my clothes,
Can I play in the swimming pool?
Let me bake cookies,
Let me sleep in your t-shirt,
Can I smell your midnight cigarettes?
Let me tan in the sun,
Let me stay awake all night,

Trailblazer
by Evelyn Judy Buehler
I was a classic 1957 Chevrolet Bel-Air, in mint condition, admiral and white.
My owner had other beautiful, classic cars, like stars sparkling into twilight.
My owner loved his old cars, saying 'they don't make them like they used to;'
And I enjoyed getting out upon the open road, to show him what I could do.
My fellow cars and I saw lots of sunny days, in bliss freedom of the flowers,
Traveling the length and breadth of this land, in the clasp of jeweled hours.
Flighty friends and I recalled 'good old days,' in rosy sunset times of finally,

another, again
by Ren Snow
Again I sit in an airport gate.
2 hours removed from 100 days in Dublin.
15 hours from another Florida homecoming.
My heart aches for the Irish green I'm leaving.
It aches, too, for the warm beaches I've missed.
How obnoxious, to mourn both at once.
I will never have enough days at home.
