Childhood Memories

Golden days, a carefree flight,
Childhood's joy, a radiant light.
Barefoot tracks on sandy shores,
Laughter's echo, forevermore.

We'd race the sun, a playful chase,
Muddy knees, a carefree grace.
River swims, a cooling dive,
Nature's beauty, truly alive.

Kite-flying high, a colorful sight,
Soaring dreams, taking flight.
Cicadas' hum, a summer's tune,
Golden days, beneath the moon.

We'd gather 'round, a circle tight,
Sharing stories, through the night.
Fireflies dancing, a magical sight,
Twinkling stars, guiding the night.

Friends entwined, a bond so strong,
Shared secrets whispered, all night long.
Mangoes sweet, a summer's bliss,
Stolen moments, pure childish bliss.

A tapestry of memories, vibrant and bright,
A golden era, a pure delight.

Description: This is a reminiscence about my childhood, playing with handmade kites in the hot summer afternoon and later in the night huddled together telling stories both horror and comedy. Wasting away the hot summer night.

Your end-line rhyme scheme calls to mind childhood nursery rhymes. It totally suits the theme. In my poem, I attempt something similar with less frequency. I would love to hear what you think: https://nircle.com/post/childs-play-by-chelsea-nahai-awang/Ss0RpQofdkTJFbbS
