Ode To Mr. Martini

Left to his own devices
the child's mind became full

No grip left to hang on with
so easy to let go

Alone and full of wonders that
no one else could see

In the darkness he was raised
so in the darkness, he played

...and he played

She told me "play one for your supper Danny and maybe you'll get breakfast".

Wonderful, my friend. What an abstract, but real feel for Mr Martini's childhood. I certainly relate to the darkness he was raised in, and the same that he played in. Awesome (hate that word, but sometimes it just fits) take on his reality!

Thats sad altogether TF. We should all take our time growing up if we can. Nice poem though.

It was just a thought which made them run. It was just an act that killed them.

He played in the dark
with words of visuals stark
no walk in the park ~L

This sounds like he's gone. Did he die? Everything I reas about him sorta makes me think he died.

It was just a thought which made them run. It was just an act that killed them.
