My Inner Child

My inner child I oftentimes let show. “She” likes me using spontaneity. When my inhibitions I let go, a litte bit audacious I can be. In ESL, I act out words with ease. My inner child I oftentimes let show. In front of students, on my hands and knees I’ve demonstrated push-ups from high to low! At sixty-six on water slides I’ll go. My grandkids were surprised when I did zip line. My inner child I oftentimes let show. The rides at carnivals I fine divine! Giggling or guffawing, I love to laugh. Short skirts I'll wear, and long my hair does grow. I don’t even mind if I make a gaffe. My inner child I oftentimes let show. Sept. 4, 2021 For Chantelle Anne Cooke's Your Inner Child Poetry Contest
