and so their level and status
I am still struggling to cope
with this world, waiting for the stratus

Attempting to be grown up

It waits off a country road, 
A short bike from home.

On it rested a boy's world.
Grown up now, my rock I seek.

Childhood wings kept
hanging behind closet doors
nestled in pockets
in woolen pea coats bright blue
like clear skies meant for flying.

I'M a Farmer

I'm a farmer 
Tired with cultivation,
Planted seed 
Here and there
In the sky over,
Never I have known 
What crop where
It got grown up.

She cries, she’s scared and she grieves.

Grown up together, 
Soul mates for ever.

Gadzooks

Check out the Gadzooks
on that one
the nasty boys say

I say go to your corner

like the children you are

Come back out

An Expert

An innocent face
Started her journey, 
Stealing things 
Of very less penny. 


Grown up 

She had become
An expert , 
To steal very expensive
 Heart.

Grown Up Yet

The birth certificate is kept
By your mother
The I. D. Card is kept
By your husband
Because you're afraid
Of losing it
Then you're not really
Grown up yet.

Premium Member Leaves In the Pool

a crisp cool wind blows
leaves into the swimming pool
fall has quietly arrived

no laughing children
splashing under the warm sun
they’ve grown up and flown away

Premium Member Lion Cubs Grow Up

Lion cubs grow up we warned the child.
He did not care, he had grown up mild.
He brought the kit home and grew him tall.
As you can see six years later, he is no way small.

Premium Member Grown Up Bullies

This might be barbaric of me to say
But I don’t like those who have to have their way
Grown up bullies who yell “you’re fired and such”
Misogynist pigs who are simply out of touch

through years of turbulence
she kept the boat afloat
we all made it to the other side

grown up now that we look back
we understand love's sacrifices

Premium Member Impostor Blossom

She feels fake, a skilled adult impostor constantly fostering a false decorum. Her life stirs in seasons of autumn but her grown-up has yet to blossom.

Premium Member Teenagers

Touchy, moody beings,
Trying to be grown up.
Testing parents' limits,
Trapped in hormonal flux,
Turmoil at the ready,
Trust issues do abound.
Treat with love and patience.

Premium Member Devolution

He'd grown up a pest and a brat
Evolved into an oily bureaucrat

While bribes greased his palms
Folks back home begged for alms...

Stripped of his bureau ~
All that was left was a rat

Toddlers at Saint Nicks preparatory praetorian school of fine arts
Precocious, their quasi's trice musketeers quid pro quo ? His prodigies.

Old Crank Who God Did Thank

Had grown up and I became an old crank;
Everyday must make sure that God thank;
Me did assist;
Cannot resist;
On Him, He knows that I will always bank.

Premium Member Father Son Duo

Father cannot go cycling as he is old
To him, his grown up son once told
"It will take you long to recoup
If fall down, you'll surely droop"
Father quietly prayed for his son to be bold.
