The Imaginative Lad

The Imaginative Lad The blissful boy at the kitchen table,delineating his Christmas list. His Pomeranian puppy licking his cold, growing, beautiful toes. Hot chocolate ambiances and wheat toast, zephyrs up his nose. He is a prodigious  child,with a temperament, so marvelously mild. Learning from grandmother to write classic poetry. "No one-liner poems from you," pronounced she. "Use your heritage, our beautiful English language!" On Christmas Day, Grandmother received a book of sonnets, which he authored! In a green velvet notebook with a red satin ribbon outstanding upon it. Grandmother had passed on the glory of English! For his Christmas,he was given books of the Poetry Masters. Wrapped in loving gold under the great scented, Balsam tree. He unwrapped them with joy. Words to live with him. For decades, ever after. November 23, 2019
