hot summer day
double dutching
in the street

my shadow and I
playing hopscotch
here comes the ice cream truck

on a shelf
the black and white cat
among the stuffed animals

dusk
Tinkerbell begins her hunt

top half champion =

lights out!
one by one their eyes close
pretending to be fast asleep

fireworks at dusk
high in the sky
eyes sparkle

screaming for mom
dangling from a close line
a dog nipping at her toes

I'm running away.
With my cabbage patch backpack.
Ha! I made it down the block.

champion =

a lazy hammock
shade is my friend
today

lazy afternoon
floating in circles
the scent of coconut

county fair
sticky fingers from
cotton candy

popcorn in a sack
all packed in the car
outdoor movie

bottom half champion =

on the deck
barbie swims
in cold water

big bubble gum bubble
in the pony tail
hair and bubble gone

spring day
an empty house
where are my roommates

little red car
a dozen eggs
smashed
