Childs Play


Poem Artwork

Indolent with play
my boat sailed
upon wakes of solitude,
solace washed over frowns
of yesterdays neglect.

Mommy loved me
she said,
I reflected that love
with multitude tones
of black on blue.

With eyes of dismay
my smiles lied
to strangers,
they saw
only a clumsy child.
