I wrote this poem and placed it in the first edition of The Sun is On. For some reason I took it out of all the other editions. I located it again and like the whimsical and creative elements... so let's see what you think? Enjoy.
Day 27: BIRTH DAY POEM
Sometimes I climb along a rhyme. or monkey bar around with time. But not today.
Sometimes I get the sun out of bed and help it raise it's bulging head
But not today.
Sometimes Itry to catch a breeze,
darting in and out of trees
But not today
I - thought l ought to start to grow like the adults I know.
So I closed myself inside
Tried to help myself decide
how to prepare to grow next year.
But grownups never
Climb a rhyme
Or even monkey bar with time.
None help the sun
Or catch the breeze
Zig zagging trees.
I've decided to hurry
There isn't much time
I better try to find that rhyme today
