Splinters
Tears.
Smiles.
The Zoo
The Park
The Swings
The popcorn
And the dolls
we couldn't afford.
The dresses
The shoes
The Cards
The gifts
The movies
And the comparisons
we couldn't draw.
The gowns
The recipes
The children
The homework
The parties
And the picnic
we could never go to.
Splinters All
And Life,
A Collage of Splinters.

Meaningful and true:)
How lovely to get a guest in my humble house. Was great to have you. How lovely to see that the world is speaking in poetry no matter what race we are poetry is the voice comes to unite the passion that we have
Hey nice! Woah..I really do like poetry I understand - I have two posts on psuedo poetry, but poetry that has a universal appeal is always so, well, melodious:)

The letters,
The sea shells

I like the concept of "collage of splinters". well said:) Liked ur last post on teacher's day too :)
nicely told....
though it is so plain...
I feel a trench like depth..
the park we could'nt afford and the dolls we couldnt afford can be given n no of meanings..
Yes you need to leave lot of things unsaid..and have done so classily..carry on..;)
Your question on my blog has been answered in a recent post...
In time, a collage of splinters will make a wonderful mosaic picture. I did admire the poem, thank you for sharing it with us.
And I have tagged you.

Splinters don't fit together like a jigsaw, so maybe that explains why life is so disjointed?
