The Old Man sits and
ponders all
The little girls play with
little dolls
The boys play of
guns and war
The Old Man watches
chapter and verse
“Bang, bang,” a boy falls
to the ground
The girls roll their eyes and
begin playing House
The Old Man rises
and purses his lips
Children come running
and cling to his hip
[Originally written, 2009]
This really has some great imagery, good job.
