Poetry Competition on KCLR FM-memories of childhood

“Memories of Childhood”

Sue Nunn Show listeners! Send us your poems about your memories of childhood. You can be any age and you can come from anywhere in the world; you just need to be a listener.

What are your memories of childhood? Hot summer days in the paddling pool, fishing by the river, building snowmen, looking after younger brothers and sisters, story time, saving hay, picnics, birth, death, walking for miles to get water or firewood, bringing milk to the creamery, a new pet, ice skating, camping… the happy, the tragic, the poignant, the funny. Whatever your memories, wherever they are set, put them in a poem and get them to us. (Oh yes, and please read the rules below).
