A Swan to meA Poem by Rossendancing and playing by the edge of the seaCharging downhills... fear lost to the wind blue eyed dusty blond with a mile of grin mud balls with plum centers to the neighbor boys head's arm wrestles and sleep overs,in sheet fort bunk beds dancing and playing by the edge of the sea her partner, strewn kelp and giant seaweed she once won a foot race... the entire fifth grade! the strongest and fastest in all sports she played together we flew a kite till we used up all the string she let it go just to run it down and catch that falling thing over the tall grassy hills of sand I heard a man say,he is the fastest boy I ever did see. I said to him,"he is a she" my stepdaughter such a little tomboy... a Swan to me... on her eleventh birthday I gave to her,her first dress she cleans up so nicely dusty hair no longer a mess.. indigo blue paisley,shiny shoes and a ribbon for her hair all grown up now, I so miss her.. chasing string in the air.. © 2014 RossenReviews
