sock feet

— by Kimbol, age 6

Have you ever been in sock feet, sock feet on the lawn?
Have you ever been in sock feet, sock feet at dawn?

Have you ever been in sock feet, sock feet in your room?
Have you ever been in sock feet, sock feet at your doom?

**

A swing, a sizable vocabulary, a taste for the way words feel in the mouth…

…poems can sprout from all sorts of seeds.

.

Besides, “doom” is funny when you’re six and live in the suburbs.
