This used to be our garden
We ran, spun and had fun
The old oak tree by the fence
We were loud and had some pun
We were brash and made pretence
Quite rambunctious, no offense
Running till we were breathless
Between us, we had sixpence
This gate used to creak, no fuss
Playing hide and seek with us
Outside until we were tanned
The world was vast, was bonus
This used to be our dreamland
Played everywhere and the sand
We grew up fast, world expand
This was our gate, always grand*

* A Quatrain is a poem consisting of four lines of verse with a specific rhyming scheme. A few examples of a quatrain rhyming scheme are as follows:
#1) abab
#2) abba — envelope rhyme
#3) aabb
#4) aaba, bbcb, ccdc, dddd — chain rhyme
Wonderful form..I’ll have to give it a go sometime. But even more the quiet somberness of the piece is beautiful. Very fitting for the image 🙂
