Little Boys

Little boys in caps
Dirt on their seat,
Puppies in their laps
Toy cars at their feet

Dirt on their seat 
Baseball at their side,
Toy cars at their feet 
Sneaker laces untied 

Baseball at their side 
Cars in red and blue,
Sneaker laces untied 
Puppy wants attention, too

Cars in red and blue 
Go round until dark, 
Puppy wants attention, too
Hear him happily bark

Go round until dark 
Puppies in their laps, 
Hear him happily bark 
Little boys in caps.

I've just mentioned in my latest poem about pantoum which is a difficult form for me but you wrote this gorgeous one excellently with ease my dear poet friend Kelly. Your poem is a great inspiration for me to write one. As far as I remember, when I'd my first attempt to write, I'd many errors. A delightful and fantastic poem on a happy childhood of boys. I love this gem and I've enjoyed reading it. Thanks a lot for sharing. God bless you and your writings. Hugs

Dear Kelly, A true heartwarming ode to the joys of childhood innocence and the simple pleasures that bring boundless happiness. Your poem beautifully captures the playful spirit of young boys, with their caps, dirt-covered seats, and beloved toys. The poem captures the carefree days filled with laughter and companionship, where even the family puppy finds its place among the cherished moments. A delightful glimpse into the world of little boys and the magic they bring to our lives. - Daniel
