Boy At Play

Written for Albert's Poetry Cafe's 10 Words: create, pattern, twirl, window, butterfly, senses, breath, tea, light, bare.

a vague reminiscence

nothing more than bare memory

emerging from a winter's day

with senses too numbed

to be tempted by tea

blowing butterfly breath

with dragon bravado

on a borderless window

to create patterns

illusions, a warrior's crest

and then crushed to find

it was nought but a twirl

a light fancy at best

made with finger and air

and a magic-filled breast

Very sweet... with an air of wistful nostalgia! A good use of the words
