    The poem describes the speaker's childhood memories compared to others. While some had childhood gardens and rainbows filled with color, the speaker's were gray and bare, with nothing growing. Where others had temples full of dreams, the speaker's was plain with no vivid life or treasured memories. The poem suggests childhood memories of wonder and imagination are important for a fulfilling life later on.

    Childhood Memories

    Some people have a childhood garden Filled with green and growing things Some people have a childhood garden Filled with purple peonies Mine is sere Throughout the year Nothing grows here Some people have a childhood rainbow A sea of colors all aglow Some people have a childhood rainbow Red to violet in a row Mine is gray Bow of clay Rhythm Without a ray Some people have a childhood temple Covered with a million treasured dreams Some people have a childhood temple A sunny Wat of Gods and kings Mine is plain Rhythm Squats in the rain Functional 'n sane Where childhood memories abound Life flows vividly around Where childhood memories have fled Hearts lie dead Tim Bovee Retrieved from: http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/childhood-memoriessung-to-the-tune-of-shawnee-w/
