Waxed Dreams Poem by Ballerina With Fins

Waxed Dreams

Rating: 5.0


Broken crayon
grimy orange,
Smudges of
dirt, of love,
of hope of angst.

Smooth, waxed
long-ago childish
dreams.
Colourful, vibrant
(now dulled)
memories of
candy-luminous
clouds and infantile
simplicity.

Broken dreams.

Or a broken
red crayon,

angry
and lying forgotten
on the cold
hard, grey floor.

I really love this poem. We all get caged into the reality of adulthood.

Good poem. Sad but good. Everyone starts out as a child full of the colorful bright hope of Crayon dreams, and then for some the crayons are broken and forgotten as is childhood and hope.
