Childhood Memories


Bounce, bounce
Goes my red, shiny ball
Brilliantly bright
Like the lollipop I just ate
Slick and smooth
It rolls down the hall
Sweetness still lingers upon my tongue
Sticky with laughter
My sparkling sphere falls into the hands
Of the dark, dusty corner
Where the goblin resides.
I will not venture
To a place such as that
When my tiny, sandaled feet
Quiver with fear
Sweaty fingers grip my yellow summer dress
Dropping my lollipop stick
As I stare at the place
Where I lost my red bouncy ball
Frowning lips stained with cherry syrup
Longing for it to once again
Be held within my staying hand.
