The Toddler At The Festival Hall Poem by Richard George
The Toddler At The Festival Hall
Rating: ★4.5
He paddles in the spotlight-sun
of first memory:
tables are his friends
and the decking floor.
All he does in this charmed time
opens as a petal
when past, present and future
are three of his aunts smiling
and waves of jazz roll
across the beach of the Foyer Bar:
the Heaven Armstrong and Ellington glimpsed
at the end of their lives

Captures the magic which one can just remember or fill in...I'm not myself sure whether the last stanza is too 'commenty' - would a reversion to the toddler round it off better?
