[hometext] => Isn't there a child within you that still wants to do all the things parents tell their kids not to do ?.There is in me
[bodytext] => I want to splash in puddles, wear no jacket in the rain Write rude words in fresh fallen snow outside my neighbour's house I'd like to scale the tallest tree or daub my sister's face With marker pens that seem to take forever to remove I want to say "it wasn't me!" and point to someone else While looking hurt at accusations that I know are really true I'd like to build a secret den and hide there all day long At least until the roof fell in or storms blew it away I want to eat icecream for breakfast, pizza when its cold Make noises in the library when the world around is hushed I'd like to press my nose to windows, make it like a pigs Or try to stick myself to mirrors, suctioned by my lips I want to lick the yoghurt lid no matter where I am Or slurp my soup so loudly in a high class restaurant I'd like to tap on doors and run before the owner came Or stamp my feet and kick and scream in petulant display As kids we try to grow up fast, as adults we stagnate We lock away our childlike self, believe its purpose spent But if, like me, your inner spirit keeps the seed of youth Throw off the chains, renew the life, embrace the child within.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
