Restraints are cast
he's free at last
to shuffle round the floor.
This wrecking ball
when on the crawl
strews debris door-to-door.

Not yet the walk
nor yet the talk
but bold in exploration.
Bright coloured shapes
and grand escapes
and gleeful excitation.

We love his style
his impish guile,
the babyspeak he's voicing.
If we say NO -
still has a go -
then scurries off, rejoicing.

And so to bed,
this sleepy head,
to find where dreamscapes are.
Though calm will shake
when he's awake,
we hail our rising star.

Haha, sounds like a right little devil.
Just wait, you'll be encouraging him to walk and talk and then before you know it, you'll be asking him to sit down and shut up!! lol.

Brilliant as always, Tommy. How
I've missed your poetry. Hopefully
I'll be able to frequent your work
more often. ¦)

This is delightful, and means so much
more now that we have our own little
fledgling running about. ;)

Your email doesn't work BTW. Tried
sending you something recently and it
got kicked back. :(

keep in touch ~
