Let's Hear It

Treasured Moments School is synonymous with happiness and best friends That I treasure even four and a half decades Down the line and we all are still connected We still become nostalgic about Sharing tiffins and story telling in lunch breaks Smuggling the so romantic Barbara Cartland's And comics in texts books for fair exchange Yelling and jumping in the throw-ball court As if fun games were just then or never Our overprotective teachers and caring nuns Lined us up under mango trees on river banks To recite and enjoy the music in poetry While our eyes were either watching tempting mangoes overhead Or distracted by the regattas from the Boat Club next door Bidding farewell to friends and school we entered Into an adolescent world of freedom encased in insecurities February 9, 2016 Contest: Let's Hear It Sponsor: Judy Konos
