Rembember when
the sun shone cancer free
and kissed your bones with vitamin D
and you swang shoeless as a mockingbird
with painted toes smiling into the sky

and a field brimmed with all possibility
and you could balance on a cloud wisp
and stare into the dark with the
flight of a lightening bug

remember when the grass climbed backwards
running away gleefully into the sky
and dreams flourished like bubbles
spreading across the ocean,
unclaimed and for the taking

remember when boys were still icky
and you and your friends snickered
at their awkwardness?

remember life

before a boy broke your heart?

Yep. Boys were and are the culprits then as they are now. I have heard a rumor that scientists are working on making women so perfect men will finally not be needed. What a glorious day that will be.

EmmaRose,Indeed I can remember back to fourth grade when I had my first crush on Bobby. How cute and sweet were those innocent days.I am afraid the young today have advanced too fast into things we had no idea of then. Best to you, jo

Hmmm - most of that was "...'fore my time'" as Kenny Rogers said in "The Ballad of Calico" album ... and, ah-hem, I was (mostly still am) a "boy" and Never found "us" icky, and I Never tripped over myself . . . well, maybe around girls, but "icky"??? And the only broken heart I was around was the one some girl(s) gave me to carry home!!

Ha! Loved it, my friend and enjoyed it much!

I think your poetry is cut above as it carries incite in the careful phrasing. No critique just enjoyed the reading.

Nice one.

Yes, I remember "when" but thanks for reminding me with such a lovely poem.
