The Day's Adventures
My daughter asked me what I did today...
I told her that I built a violin
I carved the wood and polished it
I strung the strings with resin hands
'till the notes flowed like the human voice.
I invented a new jelly bean
one that pops in your mouth when chewed
white stripes thin around blue berry blue
liquid cream center in white
I told her that I took a straw
and extended it into the clouds
to sip some steam from the silver wings
of liquid frost and winter stings
I then grew cold and found the pool
which reflected the golden sun
I took a dip and warmed my skin
'till my fingers, red unthawed
She took this all in, her hand in mine
as her face crinkled back her smile
She then looked up with her grandmother's eyes
and said I should rest for a while...
