Poetry by Michael F. Nyiri
Ode to Friendship
Lamplights suffer unreflected pools- Remember friends we've had Counting days on nonexistant calendars People made the day so bright Someone on the block Who walked us to school When we were but five Childhood memories soon forgotten Whispers behind closed doors Little girls and boys playing foursquare Fighting for a place in the lunchline Boys and girls are lifelong friends Though they never think so at the time And never remember when they're older Highschool cheerleader stunts Driving home after The Big Game Perfume fragrance in the closed car Friends made up for our bad grades And insufficient childlives Friends came out when all went home OUt for a carload to the beach Or a dance after school Now we only remember childhood Friends as we hope the bonds we Now make never get busted And I want to remember little Kimberly's last name But I never will We were all so young...
