PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

top hat skating
upon the wind
abandoned like
my trike
when I was four
Missy, it's dinner time
Mommy would call
rendering
all thoughts of play
forgotten
traded in on
another stronger
childhood desire
food
a jealous relationship
that would later become
usurping even my teenage
awe with boys
forcing natural self confidence
to take a beat down
for too many
wasted years of youth
maturity arrived
alighting another desire's fire
