    Go outside and play

    The panoramic vision of my life
    Does not come from paper nor screen
    I chase the rainbows
    I follow my dream

    although I cannot catch them
    I hold my head towards the sky
    to capture this for my memory
    To view it through my eyes

    People are too distracted
    With the imperfections of life
    I think beautiful memories
    Help to calm our strife

    Caught up with possessions
    An armchair that's never seen arms
     surrounded by the living dead
    When life has the greatest charms

    I saw a small boy today
    Who smiled and said to me
    He was the happiest kid in town
    Cause he had his own TV

    I looked down at him
    I smiled and I said
     insecurity and inadequacy?
    TVs gonna mess with your head

    Beautiful blue skies, sun is shining
    Today's the perfect day
    to try to capture a memory
    'You must go outside and play'

    Very nice. Thanks for posting it. I don't know what else to say, but for some reason, they insist on any comment being at least 50 characters.

    Your poem brings to mind a recent memory: Early a.m....hazy late summer with a hint of autumn in the air..it's going to get hot! Perfect moment beside a quiet escarpement creek before the dog jumps in the water to go........A-FROGGIN'!!! Also other memories from a long time ago....different dog. Merci!

    love this theme, and your nice play on words, "capturing" a memory ... "his own TV" probably has much more meaning than we realize, as identities, preferences, and unfettered exploration are encouraged with such ownership, as well as a sense of adulthood ... but indeed, my greatest prayer is for every being to feel the acceptance of "what is" through appreciation of the wonders of the world around us ... love this glimpse, rachelerika, nice work! -dh
