    Childhood Imaginings

     .

    The mind wanders the countryside

    Seeking the pixies of our childhood.

    The sun,

    Fond of making an entrance,

     Filters through the leaves,

    Nudging the songbirds,

    Coaxing them to sing.  

     

    A Unicorn,

    Fresh from a romp in the forest,

    Kneels daintily as she drinks,

    The water cool and clear

    As it rushes downstream

    To places as yet unseen.

     

    Bumblebees play tag on the flower tops,

    Bouncing to and fro

    And Monarch butterflies

    Halo the bushes

     As fairies dance at meadows edge.  

     

    All is lush and green,

    The light scent of honeysuckle

    Is drifting in the air. 

    Do you remember?

     These imaginings of childhood?

    My hope

     Is that all that is imaginary

     Are the fairies and Unicorn.

    Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
