Laura hosts Meeting the Bar in the dVerse Poets Pub ~ our challenge the Memento form ~ poems about moments in time that stand out ~ that we celebrate year in and year out ~ birthdays, anniversaries, holidays
at the tender age of eighteen
not old enough to vote
feeling
ill-prepared for what lay ahead
pledges made at an alter
kneeling
**
teenagers, mere babes in the woods
a wee one on the way
our firstborn
decades passed ever so quickly
we gave him three siblings
job well done
