Seraphina Chong’s Memory Poem
“Childhood Friends by the Sea”
My childhood friend and me
We met a long time ago
By the shore of the sky blue sea.
We’d splash into the waves, so free
And sometimes we’d catch a cold,
My childhood friend and me.
During summer we’d make some tea
Using shells as cups filled with sand like gold
By the shore of the sky blue sea.
Other times we would climb a palm tree
Then jump down so, so bold,
My childhood friend and me.
At night, the sky will laugh at us with glee
Shown when it twinkles and glows, so we are told
By the shore of the sky blue sea.
But no matter where we’ll be
The bond we have will never grow old,
My childhood friend and me
By the shore of the sky sea.
Seraphina said she wrote this villanelle last year in her English 2 class about two childhood friends. It also serves to tell about her own childhood friend.
