Notes About The Poem

For Jason, with love <3 :)

I Walk This Silent Road

I walk this silent road with you
I am so tired, you too?
Today I screamed: "I run away,
No way I stay!"

I have no food, a hurting tummy
I don't feel so good
Mommy can make pancakes, yummie

Shall we go home? I want to sleep
Maybe I can keep
You if I ask her so polite?
You stay tonight

With me? Come, run, we're almost there
"Mommy, I'm back!"
She didn't notice I ran off... Or even care!!!

Come kitty, here's water and food
It tastes so good!
And now my bed, need sleep...
And you I keep!

Lenna Walker May 3, 2017 at 11:45 AM This is clever and adorable. I found a kitten in the woods, walking home from school when I was 7. I carried it 4 miles to my home and I got to keep it. Such a happy day. Your poem brought back those memories. Thank You for sharing this :) Darren White May 3, 2017 at 12:01 PM Aww, that story is so sweet :) I love your memory! Thank you.

Chris Green April 20, 2017 at 10:49 AM Reminds me of me, I can not turn a stray away for anything. My cat population has grown from one to three in the last couple of weeks. Darren White April 20, 2017 at 1:03 PM Haha Chris, the newest cat lady? Beware, news goes round fast ;)

Tim Smith April 20, 2017 at 8:01 AM I was always bringing different creatures home ...This brought back good memories Darren White April 20, 2017 at 8:10 AM Jason had this picture, and he loved it so much and asked me to write a poem for it. And this, what you say, what Charma says, is exactly what I felt when seeing it. It's nice you like it too :)

Charmaine Chircop April 20, 2017 at 7:52 AM Oh what a lovely bond between a child and his pet...It seems they both slept happy and tummy full in the end...Lovely story...Reminds me of when I was a kid.Infront of mom's house was not like today full of other houses and roadways...There were just fields and one street...So I wandered off many times..and like this boy in the poem..tried to take many street-dogs and cats in the house... :)Smiles. Darren White April 20, 2017 at 7:58 AM Yeah Charmaine, that exactly is the story i was telling here :) I love it how everyone finds something different in my writing. But your comment was indeed what I imagined myself. Smile for you :)

Sanket Jain April 20, 2017 at 6:12 AM Wow! Good poem. This poem is completely inspiring one. Continue. So many questions. Can you review few of my poems? Darren White April 20, 2017 at 6:21 AM Thank you

Anne-Marie Coreggia April 20, 2017 at 4:37 AM Darren, this is such a heartbreaking poem, 'She didn't notice I ran off . . . Or even care', we have simply no idea sometimes what suffering children go through. Thank you for being their voice:) Amicalement, Anne-Marie Darren White April 20, 2017 at 4:42 AM That is true Anne-Marie. Sometimes parents have no idea what happens to their children. Thank you :)
