Today's blogging prompt from the Cornerstone Content challenge is to share content that evokes memories. So I decided to share a whole bunch of images of things that might evoke memories in the form of an acrostic. An acrostic is a poem where the first letter of each line spells out a word or a phrase.
content that evokes memories
chocolate icing on a beater
orange juice, freshly squeezed
nutcrackers and Clara and her prince
ticker tape parades
electrical storms that cause a fright
night skies full of fireflies
toasted English muffins with nooks and crannies
twinkling eyes of tall tale tellers
hideous & funny hats, all for the trying
ants that go marching on and on, hurrah hurray
tadpoles swimming in a jar
empty, hopeful feeling Christmas stockings
vanilla and chocolate ice cream in a bowl
old pictures of long ago people who look like you
kings on a checkerboard
enigmatic cats leaping at dancing pieces of light
starshine and solar eclipses
milkshakes after scrabble games
elephants arranged on a mantelpiece
muffins with cups of steaming hot tea
overcoats and galoshes to face the winter winds
river rocks and driftwood
ice cream cones melting under the sun
elegies in a church yard or a back yard
songs that stick in your head for at least a week

WOW what talent in your memories! I've never heard of that kind of poem, I'll have to try one.
Alice, that is just gorgeous!! Your challenge posts this month have been sooo good!
Alice, wow! I read all the memory phrases first, then read down the first letters-- wonder/full! Your memory phrases really jogged a lot of distant and pleasant memories for me. Thanks!
Lovely and poetic!
