Boundaries

The beauty of her boundaries,

Were how easy they’d be found,

She very clearly stated,

how not to let her down,

So if you crossed the first one,

She’d state to you again,

Please don’t go there my darling,

You haven’t ever been.

She loved to see you playing,

So close there to them lied,

And when it started raining,

She’d carry you inside.

But one day when you were being risky,

She phrased her rule once more ,

“Please don’t go there my darling-

As you ran right out her do not door.

So now she sighed and patted,

Herself down with no tears,

She packed her things and left you,

Saying thank you for your years.

  • Swings

    I remember being younger when the playground was in bloom, 

    You told me that I had a choice to use just one; But whom? 

    The slide was overcrowded and I could never get a ride, 

  • An Envy Detour

    May this envy be contagious?

    These naughts of mine that always rise come as dreams in cages?

    I might recon that is so,

    Yesterday as I sat down it started then to snow.

  • Decisions

    Four corners set each way, 
    And I still sit in the box. 
    The left could sin me, 
    Right could win me, 
    Front or back could block. 
    I could become a famous tool, 
    Or infamously triumph,
