My Neighborhood Gang

My Neighborhood Gang Colorful drapes hung alongside of my narrow window A small one/bedroom apt. my first - from delivery of newspapers overlooking a park - past a spider web - made by a black widow planted on one pane - I would peer Children tossing hoops laughing an bouncing ball would alert me Time to exercise an maybe get into a game myself our usual gang - tough competitive group - scrappers see someone hurting after each game me too Now at dusk, all this would change - you could hear those voices echo Off buildings nearby - these same rough guys would sing singing is what we did in that old park - after dinner with chicko that boy from Puerto Rico was our leader an could hit all high notes we sang Windows opened on all the surrounding buildings - families listened too Only when our sessions were over - we hear Bravo! Chico Bravo! We sounded like angels in a choir - made us feel proud - cool so true, without a doubt we were on top of our world - couldn't wait for tomorrow Three word prompts used = Window - Angels - Singing
