The Seed of Fear Peter Pan
Peter came at half-past three,
Tapping sharply from an apple tree.
“Wendy, Michael, and John, too—
Come and fly; the stars want you.”
Out of the window, hand in hand,
The trio swept above the land.
Their mother's sobs fell away behind.
Another bedtime story she can't unwind.
In Neverland, the sky can't change.
The moon is weird, the sun is strange.
No one grows,

Alice And Peter Pan
Alice held flowers in her hand,
So huge were they, 'twas tough to stand,
She collected them all herself,
The bouquet was for her bookshelf,
Walking with them proved so tricky,
Her hands hurt and they were sticky,
She didn't see where she was going,
Her steps they were slowly slowing,
Peter Pan saw her

Peter Pan Lost to the Captain's Hook
I remember that I once called him Peter Pan
The man I loved, and yet a child at heart to me
A name that became vividly more portending
at pretending than I ever could've imagined.
A lost boy I found long ago, or did he find me?
No need for Tinkerbelle's pixie dust because
he flew with me as his Darling,*

Lost Things
Curtains flutter over the nursery sill,
Waiting for their mother to find
The coverlet tossed aside, hanging still,
Patiently expecting mother to right the spill,
The beds, empty, the windows, the open kind;
Stars twinkle, restlessly above,
for their mother to kiss them goodnight,
As a girl sits alone, tickled by lilac and foxglove,
Without her darling boys like

Once upon my time
Once upon a December we were friends.
Once upon a cold night holding onto a time we knew someday would end.
A whole new world we’ll never see.
You're stuck drowning under the sea, after letting go of my hand because you wanted to be free.
Lost in the jungle like a lost little boy.
Running around like a

Like Peter Pan and Tinker Bell Nursery Rhyme
Hand in hand two sprites on a magic flight
with wings of crystal glass and fairy light
they flew, inside an abstract sky of white
wing to wing, one was nimble one was bright
Wearing taffet gowns of silky swishes
they were often flourishing their wishes
blessing all

Straight On Til Morning
I woke up at three a.m.
Some call it the witching hour.
I call it the imagination hour.
I felt like something was happening, so I looked outside.
Saw Peter Pan and Wendy heading to the second star to the right.
“Straight on ‘til morning” a voice said in my head.
It was more than enough to make my night fabulous!

How Peter Pan of Me
I will never grow up!
Me either! I scream with delight.
You can’t make me go to school!
Now we have a differing opinion.
Because I go to school every day
So, I can be around others who never want to grow up
And I am not talking about the children.

'peter Pan' - 2022 Redo
A fisherman hooked him a croc
inside it was a ticking clock
The fisherman took out a jar
of Peter Pan,* said - 'Here you are'
The croc did thank the fisherman
as they sailed the sea to 'Never-Land'

A Conversation With Peter Pan
“It’s very good to meet you,
You look younger than expected,
But guess that’s always likely,
When your status is protected?”
“Yes it’s good to meet you,
Of course I seem just a pup,
I’m bound to look a youngster,
Cos I never will grow up!”
“I heard that you can fly as well?
Is that line really true?”
“Yes I can fly at night-time,
Come

Peter Pan Courts Miss Piggy
Why can’t he get away from that mirror? Miss Piggy wondered.
He seemed to be fixated on it like a show horse encumbered.
The magic mirror was for her to primp and preen, was it not?
Are you finished there? She asked, her kindest voice a big thought.
Peter turned away and gave her a flash of his prettiest

A Conversation With Peter Pan
(As a child I loved watching Peter Pan every year on T.V. When I grew, I had some serious questions for him).

Peter Pan Comes Visiting
Peter Pan Comes Visiting
How well I know Peter.
He comes over now and then;
Entertains my children far better than I
They love to see him, pine for his wild laugh
In the gap times between visits.
Known him since Kindergarden,
Then as now a golden-haired Forever Boy
Eyes of ice blue always seeming to be looking
Into some babe fresh world nobody

Climbing Trees and Peter Pan
When he was but a child his parents often smiled
when he wanted them to read him Peter Pan.
And when they read, “the end." he’d say, “Please, read it all again.”
“This time a little slower if you can.”
So they’d read it all again…and again and again and again
for that is what mothers and fathers do
because if
