Ronald Kent Poet Rhyme

Screams and Shoutouts

Swings and roundabouts 
Screams and shout-outs
Brought us together
Whatever the weather

Preschool drawings reminiscent
Heart shape cards always consistent
Childhood plays you Juliette
Romeo stands wishing duet

High school dances
Proms first romances
First nervous kisses
With occasional misses

Dates and fun with everyone
Young adult lives lived and sung
Words of love always spoken
Childhood vows said never broken

Life... choices collage 
Careers higher knowledge
Work and play 
Hoping some day

To see you somewhere...
Low and behold you where there
Me with mine
You in kind

On swings and roundabouts
I did loudly shout
Your scream cried
And love never died

Beata Agustin May 10, 2024 at 11:58 PM Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

Line Gauthier February 11, 2021 at 1:12 PM A pleasure to find your delightful poem published in the 2020 PS Anthology, Ronald ~ Ronald Kent February 12, 2021 at 7:40 PM Wow! Line, thank you for commenting. I do not write often and was delightfully surprized that they published one of my poems. I did one in high school that made the yearbook but the future for me was construction. But... every once in a while (or once upon a time) I get the urge to write something down. Your comment means a lot thank you.

Andrea Dietrich October 22, 2019 at 5:55 PM wonderful reminiscing, Ronald.

Carolyn Devonshire February 6, 2019 at 2:39 PM Now this is excellently-penned free verse, Ronald. I like the short lines, Some free verse seems more like sentences strung together, but yours has that poetic feel and this poem is packed with wonderful images and emotion. Congratulations on your first place! Best wishes, Carolyn
