POEM: National Pride

This Pantoum was written for the CPC Friday Fling poetry challenge,

where our theme this week is favorite music, especially of the past.

NATIONAL PRIDE


Back in those glorious yesterdays
when Western history made us proud,
we bathed in the light of youthful ways.
We turned our music up good and loud.

When Western history made us proud
National Anthem was often sung.
We turned our music up good and loud.
to celebrate life on the top rung.

National Anthem was often sung
in ballparks at each big game’s start.
to celebrate life on the top rung,
on weekends during sweet leisure’s part.

In ballparks at each big game’s start,
we bathed in the light of youthful ways,
on weekends during sweet leisure’s part,
back in those glorious yesterdays.
