Broken Fences
Torn and tattered leaning in disrepair
up on tiptoes little eyes want to know
lost with flying forms of trepidation
hiding memories one cant let go
Hand painted soldiers with drips of white
once straight arrows pointed to the sky
plastic suitcases meticulously strewn about
cloistered chickweed climb making daffodils cry
Stone crumbles under small weathered frowns
dreams of the next Simone laid to rest
tall grass softens another fateful fall
escaping a sharpened prowess put to the test
Sights plighted a place most aristocracy fear
but bubble gum giggles are often heard
the dirt and dust so easily brushed off
a fortress full of fantasy in world that's blurred
