About This Poem

Crown of My Body-My Toes

twinkle toes

gives breath to dreams

sparking hope

for life’s card game

romance soars

under table

of destiny’s greatest feast


wiggling toes

plant happy home

berthing goals

erasing pain

giggling and 

wrapping ourselves

in a dream of shooting stars
