Short Toddling Poems

A Block for her head
A slinky for her belly
Her arms are like twigs
Chopsticks act as legs
She sings like a magpie
Her words are so sweet

I once had a pretty puppy 
When I was a toddling baby; 
	Loved her as mum, her silk, 
	Fed her porridge and milk 
Till aching, she began to pee.

a little girl squeals
toddling through daises—
her mother smiles

When I met you as toddler
You planted in me courage
To be myself at all costs
And fly in the wings of clouds
But with your departure
My life is a mere shadow
Full of boot-licking
And Toddling...

Child paths to Man
Our infant steps mirrors the manly strolls
Toddling memories brought to bear
Some smooth, others tumbling
Cry but get back to act
To be a Man
Kids smile to see you walk and run
To be a Dad

It didn’t matter when I was a kid. 

All the little things I never did. 

Toddling around, it’s cute when I can’t speak. 

But even then, my future was bleak. 

She coddled and cooed and mended my cries. 

Until I grew up, with pain in my eyes....

Beauty Is

Budding blossoms blooming
Enchanting emerald eyes
Autumn’s amazing abundance
Understanding that unifies
Tiny tots a-toddling
Youthful yearnings of yesteryear—

Inspiration’s
Secret sauce!...

Toddling
stumbling
fumbling
tumbling
are some nights,like toddling stumbling child,
tipsy turvy fumbling tumbling mind.

Toddling, toddling
Along the path
A basin 
Full of water
Hugged tight
To my chest
It shall not spill
It shall not spill
But a wet trail
Is left behind
It was full
It was full
But now
Barely half
It shall not spill
It shall not spill
To the chest
Held fast
But the rocking
The rocking
And the dripping
Leaves a wet trail
Behind

Hope is a wide-eyed toddler

happily drooling in anticipation

of once again taking tentative steps,

swaying sideways, staggering,

falling forward,

down on bruised

knees...


only to be back and up again 

on fumbling tiny feet,

determination undiminished,

innocently undaunted, 

toddling tirelessly

again, and

again !...

Hope is a tireless,
wide-eyed toddler
who happily drools 
at the thought of again 
taking tentative 

... steps.


         She sways sideways, 
         reels backwards,
         staggers forward, 
         falls down again
         on bruised 

         ... knees.


Again, she gets up, 
starts walking, plodding,
innocently undaunted, 
fumbling, tirelessly
toddling on tiny 

... feet.

For nine months
With love and pain
With joy and suffering
In her womb she carried me
A mother she is 
And a woman of virtue.

When there was no one, she was the only one
Even left alone, she never leaves me alone
Indeed, she’s a mother 
And a woman of virtue.

When toddling, she cared
And still directs when I could run
She is a mother of the child and the adult
In her thoughts are all, even the descendants to come
Many names will I call her; “A mother of all”
And a Woman of Virtue....

time has no meaning here
all about is tidings and cheer
our team always win
and the wind keeps the kites high
the grass cut and green
the lake blue and serene
soccer moms and toddlers toddling
while dads encourage
at finale at last 
we run to to the square for a blast
we eat our burgers with cheese
and double malted shakes apease
but not for me the only thing that satisfies
is a cranbery float
whilst listening the juke box boom
and watching as everthing pulses in the room...
