Andrea Dietrich Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Jump Rope Time

Three friends are we, three friends from school.
Here in the barn there is no school rule.
No rules against talking. Not HERE Nope!
We talk all we want - swinging a rope.

We talk and we also giggle a lot.
That’s what girls do. Just like it or not!
It sure is nice here when it’s just we three -
Shellie, Marie and high-jumping me!

Hens nearby cackle, and I can spy
Shellie’s pet goose that now waddles by.
Rope jumping with my friends is such fun.
Twirl the rope fast before my turn’s done.

Marie is up next. She's eager, so
my last few twirls, my highest I go!

Jennifer Proxenos September 30, 2021 at 9:56 AM If we think back on these days, it seems like yesterday and in years to come, God willing when we think back it will be our twilight years and then bye-bye, life is so short, we must enjoy every day and make each day a memory. Good luck in the contest my friend, a great write. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

Gary Radice September 29, 2021 at 2:24 AM Was this about what you and your friends did last week Andrea? :) Joking aside, if you mention skipping to me it takes me back to a time of the school playground. I was transported by your poem back to a time of plain innocence and simple fun. Cheers - Gary
