Enclosed Rhyme
One or more verses with a rhyme scheme of "abba" (that is, where the first and fourth lines and the second and third lines rhyme).
Let us stroll down memory lane;
skipping past the hurts locked in time.
Choosing days where life felt sublime;
let's revisit those once again.
Remember when you were a child;
think of the games you played for fun.
And when you hit that first home run,
your team applauded; how you smiled!
Hide-and-seek and Mother May I
were fun games you didn't want to end.
And Bogeymen was all pretend;
every parent told that white lie.
Marbles were treasures you traded
and hoarded like bubble gum cards.
Girls played hopscotch in the schoolyards,
and the boys joined once persuaded.
In the Summer, you'd stay outside
until it got too dark to play.
Christmas was your favorite day,
nothing could compare with Yuletide.
Memories you cannot relive
preserve glimpses of times gone past.
Unique times, your heart has amassed,
enjoying all life had to give.
