Children Play

Children Play

Shape
magic
fantasies
collectively
imaginary friends live, too…pretend.

Children, laugh their play on a summer day
steamboats travel 
making waves
dolls grant
love!

Carolyn Devonshire Date: 1/16/2010 7:26:00 AM Guess many children live in fantasies and it may be due in part to the harsh circumstances they find at home and in the world around them. I had two fantasy horses as playmates when I was a child. They could fly and carried me to distant worlds where my imagination was fed. This is one of your best, my dear! Love, Carolyn Login to Reply
