Daily Moments March 3 2016 ~ Child’s Play

 

pure innocence (haibun)

How this prompt “nudity” reminds me of my children when they were little. The children were born in the country and so they experienced a freedom you don’t necessarily have in cities and suburbs. When we moved to the suburbs my son, who was five, was invited to go swimming at a neighbour’s house. Of course he was a pratical young boy who knew he would be uncomfortable the rest of the afternoon if his bathing suit was wet…

sweet innocence
jumps in the pool naked,
bathing suit’s dry

children are roses

soft scent of sweetness

adults lose fragrance

climbing’s easy up up up,

stuck 

playful kittens

delightful furry things,

full of life
