Nostalgic Birch

Gintaras Petras Umbrasas

Birch, leaning
By the window frame
It reminds me
Of childhood's game
When it was leafless
And snow-capped high
While I skated
Underneath the sky.

About this poem

As I gaze upon the birch tree outside my window, memories flood back to me of my carefree childhood days. The tree, once bare and adorned with snow, serves as a poignant reminder of the joyous moments spent skating on icy sidewalks. Its presence evokes a sense of nostalgia, transporting me back to a simpler time filled with laughter and innocence.
