[hometext] => To the inner child, the loving mild, the hope beguiled, none reconciled.
[bodytext] => He knew the world from head to toe And drank the sunlight noon His whispers with the wind did go A duet with the moon He followed clouds throughout the winds Where feathered ice untame blows On grassy knees and seconds pinned His tongue could catch the rain's bows He shared his smile with butterflies And spoke roses’ perfume His eyes competed with the skies His laughter in full bloom His feet could take him ‘cross the world And thoughts could sail the sea A book in bed with stories curled “The Princess and the Pea” He thought adults were bigger kids Until McDonald’s banned him His years too tall beyond the lid And logic seduced whim The books would never seem to end A drowning sea of words And numbers lurked around each bend “Why cut each pie in thirds?” Doors became his prison cell And books usurped his glee Algebra defeated him The princess lost her pea He dreamed to stroll the skies again And splash rivers beyond where pain goes But his eyes closed in hope, there the dying begins —he’d forgotten the taste of rainbows— [comments] => 6 [counter] => 232 [topic] => 44 [informant] => EternitysLyre [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 10 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Nostalgic )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
