It was shady fun

Now we laugh

all.

Children did not, then..

Serious is their word of the day,

and serious out-thrown was I,

me --

as not to

overshadow,

overblossom,

overbloom --

in short to

overflower

the tiny war of feelings,

baby tournament,

competition done with fruits of the meadow.

Young, me, that was,

charms galore,

made in moment one,

and

became a queen of attention.

As flowers flowered,

flowery,

only in the flow,

of

where my shadow flew.

Now we laugh..

All.
