Grandpa’s Problem
bewildered in the living room
between the sofa and the recliner
no clear path in view
with naked Barbies
dwarf
SpongeBobs
Lego castles and Dog more
like a sleeping wolf scattered
what rising sun will navigate
this kingdom of youth
with no lamp
within reach
You paint a scene well while still leaving the meaning of this subtle.
this is beautiful.
love the imagery here.
i like your use of toys in this poem. an analogy to a “second childhood”?
very nice, both funny and serious, imagistic and tender
…sounds like home to me.
…have you’ve been in our house lately?:-)
Ciao, Milou
