Len Webster's 'Childhood Is...' Poem by Len Webster
Len Webster's 'Childhood Is...'
Childhood Is
when the world to come
is an adventure to be met
Childhood Is
running and hiding
peeking around blind corners
hoping you have been followed
Childhood Is
ducking and diving
dreaming of being in the best
football team in the world
and scoring the winning goal
in the Cup FInal
Childhood Is
being the perfect person
(or not being caught out
when you're not being
the perfect person)
Childhood Is
a mass of contradictions
you don't want to unravel
Childhood Is
a nice cosy bed,
clean sheets
and Mummy's kisses
indeed childhood is the only phase when u can be what u really are without any necessary masks of smiles or fake friendliness.....
You depicted childhood very skilfully. Great poem written well with nice texture and imagery. I rated it 10. Thanks for sharing..... Kindly read and rate my poem 'Abortion' on page 4. Best regards Akmal
