Poetry Time


This next poem is excerpted from page 27 of the book Rhythm & Rhyme which you can find on Amazon, as part of the Playing In The Sandbox Of Words, poetry book series:





Forever Changed


Young lad shuffles on cobblestone path

Skipping stones across fields of gold

Eyes focused on the sky

Where scenes of wondrous dreams

Float past like thunderclouds

While carriages clatter by


…just by chance their eyes met

And he knew – she was the one


He – in torn pants

Sun sweat soaked field clothes


She – sparkled like sun on water


The moment passed before the eye could blink

Yet his life – forever changed.


And she – couldn’t breathe.
