Laughter
Written By Semper Fi Reborn
I can still hear the laughter,
Echoing from my childhood.
Playing tops on the sidewalk,
Lemon ices were really good.
Newark, New Jersey,
Comes alive in the summer heat.
When soul switched to disco,
And then to a rap beat.
We rode our bikes for hours,
Day after day.
Like our only purpose,
Was to eat, sleep, and play.
Tag, YOU"RE IT!
Let's play hide and go seek.
Light up the barbecue,
Let's get something to eat.
How I miss those old days,
When the sun seemed so bright.
Like it would hang tough,
And take over the nights.
Ready or not here I come!
Laughter.

god,why in your graces
while there are many many fine places
did you not
in your wisdom and wit
find it in your heart to
let me come from New Jersey?
garden state nazis
playing garden state yahtzee
with the tiles
of New York
i cross the bridge
sometimes, a tunnel
to the other side of the hudson
but
it's not the same as Jersey
dear god.
why, can't I be from Jersey
like bruce?
like bruce and the e street band
who know so much
leaving me feeling
like i have lost touch
with something I never knew

I just love your poem...
I just gave a answer a while ago on R & S that said the same thing...I think everyone really needs to revisit their childhood once in awhile...
Its what keeps us young!!

i like that, its like the "evolution of humanity" coupled with innocence, great rhyme scheme.
