Beautiful memories. Well, I also grew up in the sixties when it was a totally different world. We were poor but it did not show as that was the way we lived back then. Wishing you all the very best in the contest, Kit

Comment from Gypsy Blue Rose
Excellent entry for the Childhood writing prompt contest. You followed the rules of the contest well.
Your rhyme doesn't seem forced.
I grew up in the 60s too and I can relate to your poem.
Good luck in the contest.

Growing up in Chicago must be trying sometimes. I really like your poem. I have some family members who live near Chicago; It is not always safe to go outside at night or even in the day.

I agree that it's very dangerous these days,but when I grew up in the 1960s, I never really felt afraid....thanks so much for reading my poem. :)
Comment from WriterHeather
This poem was excellent in my opinion. The story flowed well and there was a lot of truth in it. It sounds like you had a lot of fun when you a child. Good luck in the contest.:)

Comment from The Journaler
I enjoyed this poem very much. And yes, even if you had little materially, you had a lot in love and care from your family and community. Those are riches that really matter. I grew up in a small town and had similar happenings. I like how your poem moves along, and brings us to a point of perspective on your childhood. Well done!

This is a lovely story in rhyme. You have given the reader an insight into your young life and long hot summer days. Children today will never know the freedom we knew. X

I turned 18 in the 60's but I too lived a similar life. . .only in California. We stayed out until after dark, played games in the yard and got to swim at the city pool maybe once a week but we had chores of helping prepare food for the entire year. Veggies and fruit. We were poor but rich in love and being a child. Best of luck to you with this poem. Made me smile.
