This was simply fantastic. I remember those days of seeking for hours to find a four-leaf clover. Thank you so much for posting this. Terrificly penned.

Again, adewpearl, a very nice piece of nostalgia. I love reading (and writing) pieces with this theme--memories of childhood--because of the wonderful feelings that are brought about, especially when done by one as talented as you.

Beautifully described and aptly formed, this reminded me very much of childhood adventures and discoveries. There's a sing-song quality that draws you along on the journey, and a destination well worth reaching. Thankyou for posting :-)

I loved the poem, but I felt the last line was somewhat forced. I think you should have used the word "treasury" as the final rhyming word since you have been speaking of nature's treasure. Treasury does fit in with the fortune metaphor. Key does rhyme with treasury.

What vivid imagery! You brought out the backyard scene in a splended way, describing things that kids now days don't seem to care about. A great "back to nature" poem! Judy

Don't you wish a youngster now days could enjoy your joy? Beats the heck out of computer games and TV watching! Lucky you to have experienced that and be able to recall it so beautifully..

Comment from Martie
Hello adewpearl
You've taken me back to my back yard, and a poem that I wrote about the memory of my childhood there.
The old hose ran through it like a river
creasing the meadow grass of the back back yard
blooming wheat weed like last year?s candles
and a butterfly took root on the smallest pale flower
weaving light into the movement of air.
There is so much magic in the little things you describe. I am so happy that you find the special beauty in them, as I do. My mother searched for four leaf clovers, and always gave them to me when she found one. Your lovely poem touched me. Thank you.

Now you've brought back my memories of the hose hooked up to the side of the house with the metal watering can next to it :-) Thanks so much for sharing your memories and for your most warm and kind comments :-) Brooke

What a sweet poem, adewpearl. A child who has imagination will be able to find small treasures in his or her own backyard. Nice picture, too.
