You’re a carefree, bouncy kid
who still enjoys the little things like

and riding horses and fishing
at the old docks past sunset.
How to Deal with Stage Fright
“I like to write poetry because I can explain my thinking in a different way than others. I want to be an author in the future.”
The Old Green Recliner
I miss the old green recliner
The smell of fried chicken as I opened the door to my dad’s car
The sound of him cooking in the kitchen
