Interesting story about your hometown. I wonder what made it stand out as so “typical”.

As for the haiku, I think you could easily shorten it by cutting the last line. “The memories” and “I’m six again” basically say the same thing, or at least imply the same thing.

Then you’d have to think about what to do with the word suddenly, but leaving it in the second line as the last word would be interesting. It would create a big cut and then a lot of anticipation for the information in the final line.
