Here's one of the first things I ever published. It took third place in the Alabama Penman, county level, 1998, and it was published in Calhoun Community College's literary journal, The Muse, in 2000.
A Day in the Mind of a Child
A winged flight to worlds unknown,
a-dragonback,
the imagination wild has flown.
To a world of kings and queens,
of lords and ladies fair,
where knights fight and a minstrel sings.
To a place where it always snows,
and children are at play.
When will winter end?
No one cares, no one knows.
To a time when dinosaurs roam.
When Mr. Rex calls him to dinner,
he’ll wish he was home.
A winged flight to worlds unknown,
a-dragonback,
the imagination wild has flown.
That is wild and beautiful!
