the sunshine of youth
precious golden and fleeting
it's there then it's gone
Carpe Diem Haiku Kai
3WW- pasty scent revel
for a very tall young man
sad and fragile
at the moment
revel in your youth
enjoy the scent
of its magic and promise
pasty faced and forlorn is not
for a shimmering star like you
you're a smile maker
a chip off the old block
entwine
those elegant long legs of yours
around life
make love to it and dance
Well said! Get out there and dance
ReplyDeleteYes, well said indeed.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah...really dig the video and really love this poem!
ReplyDeletekids do have so much more to face than we did growing up. still, a good address
ReplyDeleteThis was written for a friend's young son who is struggling at the moment with mental health issues.
DeleteA good call to the youth to enjoy living in the moment.
ReplyDeleteAh yes.. we must enjoy it while we can..
ReplyDeleteVery nicely crafted post Rall.
ReplyDeleteBeautifully done, Rall, with your usual writing talent and compassion. May I reblog this to my blog Stop the Stigma. It is a blog on stopping the stigma on mental health.http://stigmahurtseveryone.info/
