Broken crayon <br />grimy orange, <br />Smudges of <br />dirt, of love, <br />of hope of angst. <br /> <br />Smooth, waxed <br />long-ago childish <br />dreams. <br />Colourful, vibrant <br />(now dulled) <br />memories of <br />candy-luminous <br />clouds and infantile <br />simplicity. <br /> <br />Broken dreams. <br /> <br />Or a broken <br />red crayon, <br /> <br />angry <br />and lying forgotten <br />on the cold <br />hard, grey floor.<br /><br />Ballerina With Fins<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/waxed-dreams/
