Lei Strauss Poet Rhyme

Way Back When I Was Ten

Way back when I was ten
There was once my old good friend
Her name sounds like a musical key
Everyone called her Melody

We’re young and wild to laugh things over
Ran on grasses bringing bags and a clover
Couldn’t quite forget the small talks in room
Play hide and seek inside the classroom

I found my best friend when I was ten
Still remember our childhood days quite more often
I wonder where the world Melody is hiding
Years went by since I haven’t seen her face smiling

Is there a chance to see her again?
Hope we’ll see soon before Earth comes to an end
Melody! Melody! Where are you now?!
Searching for you way back ago till now.

Jan Allison January 30, 2016 at 7:37 AM this is a charming poem Lei - I have lost touch with so many people and I am sure you would love to get in touch with Melody .. that is where facebook or friends reunited comes in handy (but I don't do facebook):-) good luck in the contest:-) hugs Jan xx
