There was a summer I had to get stitches non-stop
My new name became Dinger
I liked to climb, run, jump, crawl, and achieve any obstacle
Jumped off my 2nd story roof just too see if I could do it
Loved Snow days
Made money shoveling
The woods sledding or playing pond hockey
Then a warm meal and hot chocolate to end the day
Sweaty days playing little league baseball
In the dog days of summer
Or the crisp Fall Afternoons
Pizza and Slush to finalize 6 innings win or lose
College Football Saturdays
Pats all day Sunday
Then school on Mondays
Then school on Mondays
Summer vacation in Maine
From Fishing to swimming
Probably should've been wearing sunblock…ouch
To eating Lobster or grilling at nightWhen I was a Limitless Kid
Paying the bills wasn't in my head
Doing laundry was on the back burner
Figuring out Dinner plans wasn't a priority
Pretty much being an adult sucks!
Kevin,
ReplyDeleteGood poem. You start off with some great imagery! I also like that you included 3 images this round.
You got a good flow, and this poem starts off really strong.
The word sucks just didn't seem to fit. Other than that, the language is great - it creates a very nostalgic image.
