Recycled times (Em's challenge)

by Mr. Darcy   Nov 22, 2016

~~~~~~~

Teenage dreams
are so hard to beat,
when donning shoes
too small for feet;
they yearn to dance
and run for danger,
no cares for myths
or stranger danger.

Youth is wasted
or so they say,
on rebels wanting
to misbehave;
All I know is the
time to have fun
is in your teens,
let's watch them run.

    Iambic is perfect for this ditty. Your choices of images are well made and the humor is gently pulled along with the rhyme scheam. Particularly good are the too small shoes and rebels misbehaving.

      Thank you, Larry. Sometimes a little ditty is just what it takes. Like a 5 minute sketch that captures the essential elements in a rudimentary, yet appealing way.

      Thanks again.

    And fun is so much easier to have when we are ignorant of the dangers that often accompany it...

    Well done, Michael. This shows your rhyming skills and quick-fire imagination are pretty darn good, too!

    Take care,

    Ben

    Michael, Michael, Michael. Why I repeat your name I will never know but this is good infact this is more than good and to say I only set you the challenge what two hours or so ago? Shows what a talented poet you are. I really like this.

    1: I liked this because it says that teens have no care in the world (I think) and they don't apart from their next date lol.

    2: Nodding here, youth is wasted so much nowadays especially as kids are growing up too quickly but they should have fun but most run for danger instead of fun.

    Glad you accepted my challenge lol
    Very quirky.
    Em
