lacking helping

A lighthearted poem I wrote recently. I'm not certain what it is about, honestly, but I hope it's enjoyable.

be as the bird were

in his youngest of days

explore to contentment

cherish all whom you meet

be aware of trespassers

keep an eye on your feet

become as the wise man

sleeping for days

keep neighbors at bay

cherish your grandsons

and your granddaughters of course

of your tales? make them tall

but your poems keep short

Author's Note

I purposely wrote this without regard for grammar, punctuation, or capitalization, as I was inspired by e.e. cummings. Thanks for reading.

"cherish your grandsons" is a great line from a young fella. your writing hits a singular spot.
