Tattooed
do you remember what it was like?
to be a child (a child!)
and play in the sprinklers
on the grass -
or lie on your back staring
at clouds in the sky......
guessing at what they might be
enjoying,
all her company
as they passed.....
it's true that
needlessly it's getting harder
to find an approach
a way to exist
I tattooed all my life on me
and when I raise my fist in love
and anger up
to god and heaven
the quiet rage inside
still makes
me free.
Thought Provoking
I really enjoyed your write it makes the reader think about times anew fresh pureness. I agree with the other poets as it lets provoking thoughts of innocence arise which I enjoyed as that is a breath of fresh air. Tattooed all my life on me I LOVE THAT LINE ( for many reasons) I relate. When I raise my fist in love and anger up (bleep bleep) shut the front door that was hands down Awesomely inked so prefect Great job here.
thank you

Yes, I remember. Innocence was great, but if I could do it all again I wouldn't. This is uniquely beautiful--like your name (which I'm hoping is real?). The format and the separation of the words all lend it this wonderful elegance that I'm sure can't be replicated. Thanks. I'll have to read more.
:) Rock on with this one... See you answered my question. Very good, solid poetry.
Great poem, Grey. I really enjoyed the lines including these:"The quiet rage inside still makes me free" I had one question. The title, is it supposed to be "Tattoed" or Tattooed? Didn't know if intentional or typo, and didn't want to offend you in asking, but if ti were one of mine, I would want someone to ask. Great piece of work.
I especially liked the last 6 lines. It made remember what it was like to be a kid again. I wish I could go back, life was so much easier.
