Once there was a time

sorenbarrett

Feelings inside feelings
Thoughts inside thoughts
Colors inside orange peelings
The smell of forget me nots

A snapdragon a child’s toy
Fallen castles of sand
A scuffed knee on a little boy
Ink designs on a small girls hand

Black turns to violet
Violets become blue
A curly haired young pilot
A grasshopper zoo

            • rebellion_in_sanity

              There is something in the poem which took me back in time - looking at world through a child's eyes, fleeting wonders of life and then perhaps peeling the onion - loosing the sense of wondement after each layer. ...

              Simply loved it!!!

                                Transported back in time. Orange peelings and forget me nots did it, as did sandcastles and scuffed knees. A picture book of imagery. Just lovely Soren.
