Kids Are Funny Poets In Disguise

Kids are funny poets in disguise 
Needing, wanting, blessing every day
     From Sticks and stones 
     To climbing trees 
     Everywhere I go kids are running 
     Leaping out, playing hopscotch 
     Using high voltage of imagination 

     From bubble gum 
     To singing songs
     Chasing frogs, children are so much fun
     Bouncing balls and jump rope
     Having the time of life every day.

     From short box of sand, 
     To hand shadows on the wall,
     Painting and decorating- 
     -an everlasting moment
     A gleeful smile on every face 

Kids are funny poets in disguise 
Touching, feeling, sharing every day
     From dreaming of candy
     To wanting hugs
     Playing outside in the rain, 
     Jumping in puddles of mud
     Easy to satisfy with love

     From merry go rounds
     To down the slide
     A born poet in disguise 
     Navigating the world,
     through the best form of imaginary
 
     From rough and tough 
     To - sharp and sweet
     Dirty little fingers 
     Imaginary friend 
     Flying kites and frisbees

Kids are funny poets in disguise 
Feeling, crying, yelling their hearts out 
     From chickenpox 
     To having the flu
     Scared, on their first day of school
     Scraping knees - kisses, please
     Sometimes kids feel more than grown ups do
Kids are funny poets in disguise
Giving life the perfect meaning

Hi Linda! The title got the better of me! I see from the comments that you were still a mysterious figure when you first posted this poem. I wonder what happened to Amy Green. She had a contest on about a year ago, but no results ever came out and I never see any posts of hers. Hope you are keeping well:) hugs // paul

Yes you are the poet destroyer and she is a nice person who needs to keep mystery alive within her always, it's our uniqueness that makes us special and different and know one needs to know all. but what we chose to share is special within it's self. love the write cheri

I remember this one. Whatever happened to AMy, anyway?? Hey, I just read that blog tonight of royal's. I sure hope you were not offended that I responded to that soupmail of the imposter. I don't recall ever saying anything hurtful about either you OR Royal. That's why I was kind of shocked to see my name up there!! To my recollection, I did not know what to believe at that time, and I had hoped my soupmail came off that way to her. I will say that I was very relieved when you posted your blog, Irma!!! It cleared up a lot of the mystery at that time!! Luv ya, Andrea

All I know P.D. is u are my BBF or BFF or whatever u want to be to me.. if u prefer not to reveal your identity .. its cool .. mystery is intriguing and look at all the attention u are getting keeping everyone guessing.. be yourself ..regardless of your real name...we are who we want to be... its your choice only... Luv to u always from the "Sweetheart"...

Hi PD :) enjoyed this write again--you sure are an enigma and reading what you write is very much like reading a mystery/suspense novel--very intriguing indeed! I feel like being Nancy Drew! Hmm you mentioned your other name is a clue--maybe those asterisks denote missing letters--could you be a Sidney Lee**??

you are a great mystery, i love mysteries, i am deeply in love with enigmas.well, maybe you should stay that way,it's like you're more than one person within, or something that confuses me, because it's almost like when i try to think of you, my thoughts, well, they don't add up.there is a void when i try to see you. it makes your writes all the more entertaining P.D. . -Always&Forever Lynette
