Nothing Ever Will

touched your name
tapped a keypad
and frog-like-lilly-leaps
found me
fly-like with
accuracy
after so strong a bound

Life water
wash me down
simple moments water rushing
over winter white feet
tumbled rocks purple catches me
waiting.

Wondering what I will find
This Christmas morning.

lingering before fireplace
craving buttered popcorn

Childhood Echoes

Remains, though tedious walked
Of one Time-beat, droopy
For what of its sound was thrown up
A neighbourhood, joy-free.
Form: Rhyme

Path of Joy

upon its concrete path
As to exhale stress 
feeling natures breath upon their feet 
brings upon JOY to all who seek .

That Tree

It’s not our world anymore, there's more than just you and me
But there wasn’t when we carved our names into that tree.

Sandcastles remind
me of all my childhoods beach days
with buckets and spades
building the biggest and best kind.

March On

Once a week, rain or shine.
School assembly marching time,
Shoulders back, tall or proud,
Marching music, totally loud.

Premium Member Lonely House of Childhood

dark desolate road
an unloved abandoned house
shabby and unkempt
makes me exceedingly sad
tear wallpaper from my youth

Go Wooden Pony

Each one rides a stick.
Delighted children gallop.
Go, wooden pony.

dandelion fuzz
    released into the air
       by a wish --
childhood dreams scatter
to places unknown

Long time!
Long time ago
I had not seen you
Turned memories..
Of childhood
Ah! Oh! Bless you! How old!

Sloth is laziness of mind and
Body
Through which we neglect our duties
On account on the labor they require

It Is True!

Dracula -
A freaky friend of mine -
lived in a castle
next to my childhood town.

Jump!

Jumping on a trampoline
Falling off could be quite mean!
Jumping up with leaps and bounds
Oh how fun that really sounds!

Water bottle, waterbottle
You sit on my desk
I look at you, I look at you
But I never drink you
Poor, poor water bottle

Silence

creek crack creek crack.  the sounds of the house that youre staying at. scary forever until 


POP!  it was just your dog.

Scooter

I was a strange child.
I never crawled as a child.
I always scooted.
Scooted right on my behind.
Until I began to walk.

Shampoo

Mummy’s drinking shampoo
Though she normally drinks coffee
I just can’t understand it
Why’s her mouth not getting frothy
