A Chocolate Covered Path
|
Young
nostrils filled with the scent from roses and apple blossom
A cart its wheels rumbling clattering over the sound of play A path made from chocolate shaped tiles its edges uneven Causing it to leap and bound through the summer scented air The sounds of laughter and shrieks of joy echo their freedom As each child waits his turn the race continues ever on Down the path as quick as one can to the bottom of the hill To stop at the end is the game before the brick wall has its will The feeling of anticipation of excitement as one waits for the next turn The rushing air the clattering wheels the scraping of breaking feet At the end of a successful run a refuge is sought under the trees The blossom falling like snow dancing weaving all merrily at play |
