My boy is home

by Janine Euladia

He ran through the door
Hair long, beaming face
opening, dumping things
all over the place
Strings, rope, wax and wire
dagger, swords, a gun
Skateboard, marbles, some bone
My eleven year old boy
finally came home

Well done...

Poignant and really evocative...when my tween-agers come home, the place is suddenly strewn with all sort of odd things...pavement reflectors, rocks, small animals...you've described the charm of kid clutter nicely.

LOL! Breathes new life into "snails and puppy dog tails."
