This is an imagery poem about the games I used to play as a child.
The Playhouse
Rusted over in the
dew-dropped
summer
Ivy breaks into the
cracked walls
after
We were royalty or
orphans
hiding
Between the cobweb-filled
walls where
we watched
The daddy-long-legs crawl
and saw
dust grow
Curling through our jungle
over
our world
The wind whispers as we
forget
where we
Once used to play in the
dew-dropped
summer.
