I lost myself in clover tanned and glistening I showered in the swelter and braided flowers for my hair no tick of clock to time my day-- I let the sun bleach tresses blonde. Grass oil scent and patchwork sky I tried to grasp the end of it a box of thought within a box it pleased me even then to think conclusion was an unseen hand that held me lovingly... I did not track the path of sun. He always caught me unaware as dusk loosed the mosquito's bite-- and I heard my mother call dragging feet to lengthen day-- then safe behind the walls of home. Sleep was just a page away scent of grass replaced by soap. I fell to sleep with flashlight on, beneath the blankets life was good I didn't cry for yesterdays-- each day I woke to a new game and I was eager to go play. |

I remember days like this too... It's nice at times to kind of lose ourselves in times of remember. ~Hugs to you sweet poetess~ ~Time has cast a spell on you, |

just a little reverie... thank you. It was reading your words--all of you that brought me there--thank you all for the respite of peace. And cap? No I can't regain those days, but perhaps I can regain the attitude. I think I'm gonna go bake a pie now. ta ta for now... peace, good poets. |

serenity...the feeling and the child are still there, behind the mosquito netting.  |

Pie? is it Raspberry?  |

Childhood's simplicity... If only we could take at least some of that with us along the way... |

Ah, yes, I too miss those simpler days. When all was fresh and new. I especially enjoy these kind of writes from your pen. Just from reading your poetry, I have discovered many fascinating layers to your persona--I suppose that is why your title: "Uncomplicated" intrigued me and drew me in! Yep, this poem perfectly illustrates yet another layer. I enjoyed reading this and getting to know you a little bit better. Warm hugs, Linda |
