NaPoWriMo/GloPoWriMo Day 4

Enigmatic – that’s the theme for Day 4.  To write about something or someone without naming that someone or something.

Enigmatic Memories*
by Michael Romani

Roadside berry pie
As time flies right on by
State Route Thirty Nine
Those are your memories, not mine

What I wouldn't give
For another chance to live
To do it all over again
On that, you can depend

From fried chicken tea room
To a Cedar Fair kind of doom
Those were the good times
Filled with childhood rhymes

Along crept in a ghost town
Where Boot Hill kept gun slingers down
Admission was charged in '68
And love of money sealed the fate

The 70s were filled with political causes
Good Times, magic and edible pauses
Until the 90s came as along 
Enigmatic memories became just a song

Looking back on my childhood days
It was there I learned my best plays
Soaking in the sunshine's golden rays
Happiness remains and will always amaze
