Haiku and Tanka - 1. Childhood
Childhood memories
Wondrous pearls on a string,
Cherish them always
Glitter on my face,
Squishy stuff and glue to eat
Kindergarten times
Sweet angel kisses
On down so light, such sweet dreams
Blessed on you tonight
Screams in the pillow
Darkness like a shadow comes
Innocence shattered
Dew on pedals, bugs,
rainbows, pots of gold, daydreams,
morphing cloud-shapes seen,
creepy monsters under beds
midnight flights on dragon back
Childhood
by Lugh
Afraid of the dark
Boogie man gonna get me
Mama can't see him
Crouched in the closet hiding
Waiting for lights out - and me
School days taught me well
Reading, writing, 'rithmatic
Knowledge is power
Remembering Two:
Walking 'round on tipsy-toes
Parks and Zoos to see
Running bare-butt and carefree
Sand and dirt all over me
Dancing in the rain
Stomping mud puddles - splish, splash
New red galoshes
Conquered all with pride
Monkey bars, swings, slide
Playground champion
