RIVERWOODS/TAMWORTH POEMS: NOSTALGIA

NOSTALGIA

We look at old time pictures

To see how thick the ice

Once froze to hold our fish shacks,

How deep the hole to pull the pike

Or perch or pickerel through.

Those were the days when snow

Would drift up to the windows

And we would hire men to clear

The porch or sun room roof.

The yearly dogsled races

Were held on Winnepesaukee.

There was cross country skiing.

Snowshoes were more than ornaments.

Old photos show how it was.
