I think I still need to work on the ending, so let me know what you think. Memories migrate into my thoughts. They bring the childhood Where sliced lemons were doused in salt, And boundary lines were thin, So that even with the screams and stings Of our chapped lips, The sour excitement Was still sucked out. It left us parched And not yet satisfied, so We skipped on slippery grass, Felt rain drops scamper down The scaly skin Of our elbows, And felt the freeing cold, As a mom was on the edge, Panicking yet again, That we could simply, hit our heads. We were not attentive To her fear, Fearless, until We heard the keys upon worn out jeans, Of a man, Who smiled a bit too big And whistled a little too loud, And as he came near We ran, paranoid By the stories we were told, Of men kidnapping kids Who were yet again to be seen, So we avoided the smiling man And his worn out jeans.

Wow Christina. I couldn't even write something like this. It's really good and one of my favorites. I really love the first stanza over all. |
