NaPoWriMo: #20 Little Boy Blue

I know I missed last night! Not a perfect month for me, but I'll end up with more than 30 poems despite missing a couple of days.

This poem is not about my son, but about a student I work with every day. He’s a good kiddo and I love who he is---so this is for him.

Little Boy Blue

Running down the hall

You hardly heed my call

I don’t want you to fall

As you jungle jump

Racing not caring

It’s me you’re trying to dump

Oh, I know, Little Boy Blue

You cringe when I laugh

You don’t value the past

The present is formidable

When you aren’t kidable

You run and slide

I try not to hide

My face to you

Even when you’re blue

Or throwing shoes

Silly Boy Blue

I take your cue

Here from me to you

What you do is what you do

You entertain

You complain

You fain

That I don’t like you

But, oh I do,

And I know you like me too

My Little Boy Blue
