Saturday Night Memories - Acrostic

 

Such are the memories of a child

As I fondly remember the special times

Together we gathered into the car

Under the stars and night sky we would sit

Ready to watch the mighty screen

Dusk would slowly descend

And then movie would finally begin

Yesterdays gone but the memories remain.

 

Now the first movie’s done

Intermission now begins

Going to the playground as the lights come on

Hurry to the snack bar

To get the burgers and soda

 

Most of the kids in their pajama’s

Everyone enjoying family time together

Mom’s and Dad’s start to gather their kids

On with the show comes the announcement

Reliving these memories forty years later

I recall these days of my childhood

Enjoying and remembering them all over again

Saturday night memories never forgotten

    Worked at a drive in for a few years while going to university - the tales I could tell. LOL Remember those triple decker long weekend movies - sure had a good time. Liked this poem - brought back lots of memories.

      I remember those great times, I remember putting a few friends in the trunk of the car to get in free, I also remember the misquitoes and the fogged up windows. Glad you enjoyed it

    Great job. I love how you turned this title into an acorstic, and yet it seems just like a normal poem. While I was reading this I felt like I was being taken back in time. You did a great job putting your own memories into this and yet still leaving it open enough for people to picture their own. I like the last stanza because it gives the message that even though those days are gone you will never forget them. Great job. Thanks for entering.

      Thanks for the terrific words of praise. I am glad it brought back memories for you. There are a few left here but they are 1 1/2 hours away. I also have fond memories as a teen, hiding friends in the trunk was great fun as well.
