When you read me those stories

as a child

when we would sit down

one of us on each side

and you’d read us a book

did you ever think

that one day I would write my own

that I would take words

and make things out of them

and that there is probably 

some part of me still

that is heavily influenced

by Black Beauty escaping

a burning barn

or the Pevensie children

playing in a wardrobe

Ah... The tales of our youth.
To me it was the 1001 nights.
Always good to remember, and compare before and then.
Nice short book.
I enjoyed reading this poem.
Take good care Green.

I like the way you write/the way you think
