Back to this blog...
I was going through my poetry, getting them all organized for my upcoming book Follow Me: Poetry from the Heart and Soul. I hope to get it ready for sale through Smashwords in time for Christmas...well, at least the New Year! One poem stuck out in my mind as a perfect submission for my six. In fact, it is only six sentences! So here it is. Let me know what you think!
When I Was A Child
When I was a child I sat in the corner
And daydreamed about the the things I wished I had.
I hated boys and their rough games.
Girlfriends were sometimes very mean,
And my parents always treated me like a baby.
If anyone was looking for me,
I would escape into my dream world
And become someone else.
And here I am.
Doing the things I dreamt about,
The center of attention,
And loving it!
