MY PLACE – POETRY , AFFIRMATIONS & MORE

Lying on top of the fresh new grass

dandelions gladly cushioned my head

I chewed a grass blade soft, young and sweet

wishing I could stay in my bed

The dishes piled high no one cared

kids eyes glazed from too much gaming

the ants were well fed , the dog hungry.. not dead

yet when I said “what a mess!”I heard blaming

I pondered and wished I could stay here all day

and wondered if they would notice or even ask why?

The pale sky whitish blue the sun had a hue

the bugs biting my neck, I sighed

I jumped up and yelled “that’s it, let them sit!”

I’ll fly away on the tail of my kite

if could just get the right breeze;

I would lift off my feet

the neighbors would just think what a sight!

“Oh for sure she’s lost it!” they may murmur with glee

just watch and see how far she gets with that wind

Just a girl with a kite whose head was not right,

certainly both of her knees will get skinned

As I ran and I huffed my lungs sure did puff,

with one great leap I was high in the air

From above high I could see, a world smaller than me

and then I thought “Wait take me back, I do care”

As I glided back down, feet touching no sound

I was back where I knew I belonged

I lay back down on the grass, no one noticed or asked

The day I flew the coop… but didn’t stay gone.
