Tripping down the trail,
Skipping merrily.
No cares in the world,
any child should be so lucky.
But today, in this summer's heat,
my ten year old in her sun dress.
Zooms around the back yard,
Golden Retriever in Tow.
I sit in my chair in the shade,
watching her dance and prance.
I sip at the ice water,
trying to keep cool.
Normally I sleep during the hot day,
but not on this day.
Not on this fun
Sunny Afternoon.

Poetry: Fun
As kids, we played, made mud pies in the sun.
As kids, so simply, we found anyway to have fun.
There were no worries, even
Skinny dipping at midnight in the sea
Having a parent pay the bail to set you free
Thrills and panic rolled into one
Was it
Lovin' You
Baseball cards and bubble gum
Tootsie pops and coconut rum
Christmas cards and New Years Eve
Stary skies and
Overworked
Driveways are a place to park your car
Parkways are a place to drive your car
Sign-makers must not know what
People Watcher...
I like to watch people in a crowd.
To imagine what they are like and just think out loud.
