Poem submitted for the BRIDPORT PRIZE on 22nd Mar 24

 

Life                                                                                       


                         

Seems like an adventure

Everyday there’s something new

Joy and fun infiltrates

Being carefree comes naturally

But you don’t know it

You are just following your heart.

 

You sleep and rise

You eat and drink

You play and splash

Run and hop

Lie down on the grass

Squinting at the sun.

 

Pick some flowers, smell them

Follow a snail

Try to fly like a butterfly

Pat the dog

Squeeze the kitten

And feed the birds.

 Why?

Because I am just a child!
