A smiling child on a clattering tram <br />looking out at the traffic lights <br />She wore a big daft hat at an angle <br />and her nose against the glass <br /> <br />A smiling boy on his way to school <br />his hands shape and chop the air <br />His eyes are fixed upon a vision <br />as he carves his future there <br /> <br />A smiling baby on its mother’s back <br />delighted with the whole wide world <br />plans to take the whole thing over <br />then slips back inside the pack <br /> <br />A sun-dappled tree in the city park <br />reflected in the city park’s lake <br />Twice-dappled leaves an impression <br />an impression I can take <br /> <br />The things I saw were wonderful <br />you know they stopped me in my tracks <br />The things I saw were stupendous <br />I look forward to going back<br /><br />Sean Joyce<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-things-i-saw/
