Once as a child, I vaulted on sunbeams. <br />By both those Dippers, I swam in the stars. <br />Comet-tail laces bolted rings around Venus. <br />I impressed like hammers-floored nightclubs on Mars! <br /> <br />Now less is the lesson. Right here's the horizon. <br />No danger by altering tottering lies- <br />Stare at the chilled empty sweep-see those hills- <br />Glare at the frost-sharpened teeth of tossed skies!<br /><br />Glenn Bagshaw<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/hard-knocks-high/
