Better in memory
Changes
A grand place as we remember
Filled with laughter and joy
Counting down the minutes until we were out that door
Ran out in such a hurry
A time we played with our friends
When our worries were if you got to the kickball line on time
Small and petite as you know it now
Gossip and trouble fill the air
Rather stay in then go out
You sit by yourself now all alone
Worries about life and college
We’re not on the playground anymore
We’re not kids anymore

This prompt is the Better in memory poem. I included this one because its something that means something to me. This poem is about my childhood and how we are growing up and what it’s like nowadays. I like this poem because it shows the changes as we grow up. We used to have worries about the smallest thing but we never knew it was gonna get worse.
I fulfilled the prompt by using past and present things that have happened to me. These were things in my memory that were important to me. I chose the word playground because it was a part of my childhood. I also used the word college because it is what is in my future. Those two words go together because they contrast so well because it’s showing what life started off and how it is going to be.
