Youth

a pleasurable place
with I dare you’s
little boys running barefoot
through mud puddles
chasing girls with frogs
pulling off rain hats
drinking the droplets
where fun is fun
life is laughs
where we never think
about pain and hurting
rainbows come always
friends are forever
clothes are confining
life is so sweet
grass is for rolling
not mowing
where it’s
never bad to cry
and
smiles are honest
and don’t hurt a bit

"...the rest is silence" (Hamlet)       Shakespeare

This is fantastic, m'friend...I absolutely love this...excellent write!

to be with you...
I've tried to hide my passion,
but it's just no use...
piece by piece I lose it
when you walk in the room...

What an honest, refreshing piece of poetry.

Kathleen Blake

"When red-haired girls scamper like roses over the rain-green grass,
and the sun drips honey."
