Childhood Friend

By Kendall Wright

                A green faced child stared at the bottomless pit of toys.

“You cannot play until this is clean.”  A booming voice ruptured a nearby stack of toys causing it to topple over. The steaming red face disappeared behind a barred door.

                As soon as the keeper was gone a tapping came from the window across the sea of disaster. Several long wooden arms reached to tap the tampered glass.

                My legs sunk in the toy as I bolted towards the skylight to find the source of this rhythm.

Two boys were attached to the long branches; smiles almost flawless except for several missing teeth.

The smallest boy of the two held up a small ball.

                His pale arm extended backwards preparing to catapult the ball through the window.

The ball launched from his sweaty palm; darkness surrounded the ball as the keeper chased the boys from my prison.

                My hands wrapped around the ball as I quickly retreated back into my cell.

It was worth a try.

Poem

Mirror mirror on the wall,

Who is the wisest of them all?

Who’s smile is like the moon’s soft glow,

And grows in voice like a horns low blow.

Who dances with grace of a swan,

And has hair like the fire of dawn.

Who What Where is this creature?

Call forth this so called teacher!

Teacher of dance.

Teacher of rhythm.

Teacher who needs no reason.

Come forth and challenge me.

I dare you.

I swear to you,

I shall wait here beyond the sea of everlasting eternity.

My bad....
Storms thrashed against the ivory walls. it swept the necklace that was lost long ago through the waves. Small cracks began to rupture from the intense of the magic seals stealing away.Then a giant eagle ate them both...The end..

Ugh..Havent been home to write much..

The sun rose over the valley that was overflowing with a mass of orbs. Orbs that contained all the souls lost to the grim.

Sorry My peoples..I have been gone..

The sun began to sink behind the blue shadowed mountains. It left the sky above gold and untamed. The moon itself couldnt remove the light among the sky. The sky burned with the colors throughout the entire night.

I tried to let you go again..but failed. And I am sorry for I am now lost in the memories that you hold. Forgive me.

I was 12 when I wrote this one...

Your words are wise to all around. Your heart is as strong as gold. Now that I think of it, it’s rather scary to say Good-bye. Good-bye to your hearty laugh and your sweet, sweet smile. Good-bye to your big ol’ hugs and your taste for bitterness all the while. I must say it is hard to say good-bye. Never will I have to cry for I know the golden rule, I know you will be with me every step I take.
