Slam Books – remember them? Another piece of childhood. Do kids these days use slam books? In the era of Facebook and WhatsApp? I remember how special slam books were and getting them filled were a ritual.

I chanced upon my old Slam Book, childish innocence filled the pages. I have vague memories what I wrote.

In memory of Slam Books, a haiku

Pieces of paper

Witty questions to answer

Colours and designs

 

Slam books we called them

A end-of-school ritual

Filled with memories

 

Poetry to write

Stickers, stick figures to charm

What fun slam books were

 

Address for snail mail

Favourite colour and quotes

An era gone by

 

Preserved and cherished

Many moves my slam book survived

Reminiscence
