The boys #thepoetrymarathon #prompthourfourteen

I have two happy little boys

Who keep me wild and free

They lead me into forests

For the toadstools to see.

One is thin and grubby

His hair black and slick

The other is all smiles

Though he looks like a stick.

They love the little kittens

They wrap them in their arms

And whisper to me to keep them

Safe from all harm.

They point out the stars

We count them one by one

They climb upon my lap

When my day is done.

So if you find me chattering

For all the world to see

Know that I’m not going bonkers

My boys are playing with me!

    1. Actually I have to add, at home, I always refer to “hawa” and “batash” (basically air and wind in Bengali) as my two boys. From the time the girls were small, in the evenings, specially in summer, I would tell them to open all the windows so that the boys could play. That’s what I was thinking of! And of course, my girls know I am crazy!!!
