arms outstretched, hair flowing wild
blur of pink and denim and white
a laugh a squeal a leap a smile
rocketing straight into the sunlight

"an adventure! a marvelous adventure!"
yes. a beautiful insane terrible
adventure. we wish to be immature
we want to be children, gullible

children who believe in magic
children who believe in daydreams
we want to leave behind the tragic
want to leave behind pyramid schemes

come with us as we run away
come with us as we fly today

hot spring
urgent driving
hoping to get there soon
after a quick jaunt in the pool
red creme.

- Okay, this one makes no sense, I'm sure. But tonight we went to the hot springs and afterward I got a red creme soda. The prompt was to write in meter, but I hate meter. So I just wrote a cinquain (2, 4, 6, 8, 2) instead. -
