Childhood Memories
Oh those days, how I picture myself sitting under old trees,
and looking at the mirror, I realised the old me.
The memories of my childhood, once livid in the past,
now sadly though, they cannot forever last.
I used to waddle through swamps, rivers and lakes,
and walk for miles until my legs ache.
I used to draw on old floors, and grab a dusty chalk,
and immerse myself in my friends' silly talk.
I used to paint a picture, and hang it on walls,
and clip it around tightly, so it never falls.
I used to play with my friends down the misty hall,
with rackets, or a soccer ball.
Oh those days, how I wished it was still the old me,
but that old life form of me just ceased to be.

I missed those childhood days that I used to experience, and wished to pour out my feelings through this poem. As it is a free verse, I was able to express my feelings and thoughts about my childhood memories freely and vividly, thus inspiring to write this poem to share with the wonders of the world. I sincerely hope this piece gains the likes and favour of all the readers who set their eyes on it. Thank you!
