Blanket of Childhood PatchworkA Poem by CagedBIRDsingsA bunch of nonsense, but I wanted to writer something. Snatches of my childhood memoriesSprout and Bean River and Stream Smoke and Steam
Raindrops falling like a mother's tears Watching on as clown smile leers Stinging as a brutal child's sneers
Teacher's head full of air Sadness filles the empty stair Bathing in the sunshine's glare
Spider spinning webs of stories One-legged man of past war glories Balding men in their early forties
Hop-scotch of an innocent day Elephant eyes in shades of gray Barefooted shadow comes to play
Whispers like screams God's high wooden beams Concoctions of sweet-smelling creams
Let go of the balloon Fall into love too soon Pencils in the noon
Scarred girl burns Wooden water churns Foolish people learn
Stealing the bead Animals to feed Noble evil deed
See the jar full of sacred ashes Loving hand slaps in whipping lashes Rainbow scarves worn as princess sashes
Holy water on the chair Mouse caught in the bloody snare Kickball isnt always fair
Imaginary friend Blue Magic carpet too fast flew Rice in place of sticky glue
Water fills the perfumes bottle Doctor's office needles dawdle Lost rabbit of child's coddle
Childhood spills through a lavender bubble Imagination cliffs jumping off trouble Gentle scraping brush of Daddy's stubble
