Childhood Delight

Childhood delight, if meant to be
S'mores-gas-bord, little choc-o-chips
A Peanut Butter-Jelly tree

Capri Sun, lil' pouches - hmm - see
Jumping rope, and hop a few skips
Childhood delight, if meant to be

Squirrels & birds, quickly, munch with glee
Tree-crow protects from bunnyips                  
A Peanut Butter-Jelly tree

Sneaky, scavengers disagree
these treats for itty-bitty snips
Childhood delight, if meant to be

Problems could arise - gollee gee
Peanuts  fall, they'll grab with grips
A Peanut Butter-Jelly tree

Nocturne critters, smaller bee
leaving behind few honey drips
Childhood delight, if meant to be
A Peanut Butter- Jelly tree

Congratulations on youir featured poem this week, Virginia, reminds me of "the good ole days" (that sounds like a poem too doesn't it) good poem filled to the brim with captivating imagery. Also like this poem of yours on childhood. Well projected in fanciful prose. Thanks for sharing- Robert

Whenever I put peanuts out for my neighborhood squirrel, here come the blue jays ... LOL ... such thieves. Awesome write here, Virginia with great imagery. Been quite awhile since you've posted here at the Soup. Hope you return soon with more excellent writing!
