Tim Smith Poet Free verse

Spoilt Brat

A soft spring breeze blows gently

across the open toes 

of my Italian leather sandals.

Sitting on the weathered oaken bench

I can picture you swinging on those wooden slat swings

with your flowing hair pushed back in a ponytail

bouncing up and down off the top of your cashmere sweater

I imagine your little smile as you giggled with your girlfriends

I can still see that little twinkle in your eye as you caught me staring at you

I smiled and my cheeks turned a pinkish red

I remember walking over your way and asking your name

You said it was Spoilt Brat and I couldn't help laugh

We took a walk as all your friends watched

You were so bold, grabbing my hand and starting to run

We ran so fast and then fell helplessly in the grass

You touched my faced and pulled me in

and we kissed, oh such a wonderful kiss

so soft and light. you lit up my night

Such beautiful memories coming back to me

 on this sunny spring day.
