Nostalgia MAG
March 26, 2009
I am the girl
bathed in the pale
wash of sunshine,
waiting on knobby
knees with blue elephant
barrette tangled in hair.
Please come to me
quietly,
stepping on soft-shoed
feet, singing sweetly of
long-forgotten utterances
and platitudes.
We can shriek
felicitously at the giddy
mechanical whirling
of that rusty
merry-go-round
while breathing in the
delicate perfume of
freshly cut summer
grass.
Please hold me
gently,
kissing away
those sores and
sloppy tears
of girl come undone.
Then we can make our
prescribed route
back home.
Bellies slung low
with crystalline
tittering,
and heads held high
with the wan-sweet
aspirations of a stately romance.

This was lovely, and I appreciated the aesthetics.
My poetry hasn't been put up yet it's still "being reviewed" and whatnot, but I would really appreciate it if you would take the time to read it when it does get posted as I would highly value your opinion bc of your writing talents :)
