Ken Jordan Poet Light Verse

Young Boy

Poet: Ken Jordan
Poem: Young Boy
Edited by: Sparkle Jordan
written: June/2012

When 
I was 
a
young boy
my 
friends,
and I 
would 
play 
on this 
dirt road,
the 
whole
day through -

We'd play 
spinning top,
shoot marbles,
and 
if a girl 
came around,
we 
would even 
play
Hopscotch -

Just before 
the sun 
went down,
we would
 run 
to the well,
 to get 
our last 
ladle
of water -

I
would
run back 
down
the dirt
road,
fast 
as I can,
to 
the screaming
voice
of 
my mother,
calling 
for me
to come 
home - 

Those
were the
youthful 
days
of my
life -

I miss
this time
when I 
was
young -
