Robert Verdon, #105, Cubby Houses for Riding Time


there’s a tourniquet

round the day …

lying under the pine

light on green needles

threads of talk bind me

wishing for company

in the leafy playcentre

of another century

the memory of cable drums

that children climbed,

by the cubby houses

for riding time …

whole again,

roll again,

who has the key?

  1. Hi Robert - I hope you don't mind - I used some of the lines from this poem in my post today - it's a cento called 'pine' and it uses lines from all the poems posted so far on 8 April. Cheers - Melinda
