reflections

remember someone holding
a dandelion under your chin
seeing the reflection of yellow
to determine if you like butter?
kid stuff

be good though
the day on your face
is a reflection of what you carry
in your heart

how you slept
how you’re eating
who you love
which dog you’re beating

how well you are doing
how life’s going
you may forget, but all
is written on your face

Great poem. I especially like the second stanza.

I just read your meme, too. You're right...it is fun to read what others write. You give very interesting and fun answers.

thank you, julie
the first paragraph is a statement
we can relate to

the second stanza is the poem

the third i left for the rhyme

the fourth is a restatement of the well said second

i could have cut the 3rd and 4th

looks like a rush job from here

Hi Jack, wanted to stop by first of all and thank you for coming by Old Mossy Moon. I know you have visited with me before, but - wanted to thank you just the same.

Love your work here. I have visited here before, too. Sometimes, it is difficult to get around to everyone. But, I am definitely going to get back here more often. I love your poetry! Oh, and I did enjoy reading the meme!
