Little Boys

[Julie Kenward]

A little boy's fingers go exploring his world
They watch butterfly wings as they slowly unfurl.

A little boy's fingers seem to never come clean
Why, there's too much to do and too much to see.

A little boy's fingers may be tinted with dirt
But there's always some more on his pants and his shirt!

[Lance Warley]

This is great, Jules.

It's deep and lit's light, and the rhyme works beautifully.

Superb.

[Fabs Forns]

Sweet portrait (in words) of little boys :) Makes me think of my kid at that age.

Thanks Lance. I'm usually not so sing-songy but this seemed to call for the "snails and puppy dog tails" kind of rhyme.

Fabs, I bet it describes Al on more than a few days, too! :D

Julie- this is precious! Only thing I might change is the word "watch"...which fingers don't generally do....;) Maybe it's OK- poetic license and all. Or maybe something like "find" or "feel" could work? Those words follow the "f" s in that line too. Just a thought. :D
