Description
I’m taking too long again I supposeThe music keeps telling me to hurry up
Flag polls and fireworks flash on the TV screen
P.B. and J. is my manna sent from heaven, or upstairs from mom
A purple stain on the carpet that I sheepishly thought would go unnoticed
So naïve, yet I suppose that’s what made those days so carefree
I AM the red Ninja Turtle
I AM the red Ranger
I AM jumping on my bed with my next door neighbor buddy
Nerf guns bully even the most precautious older siblings
I suppose there is no use crying over spilt eggnog either
Clumsiness comes with the territory
I never suspected what happened next
They made me scared of it yet unaware of it
Please don’t say I’m too old
Please don’t tell me I’m too big for that
I wanted this to last longer
Just 5 more minuets
Gone
I AM not the red Ninja Turtle
I AM not the red Ranger
But I wish I could be again

don't you think it's weird that when we're kids we're so hell-bent on growing up and being older, but then when we pass childhood all we want to do is go back? ahh the joys of innocence and being carefree... anyway, enough of my ranting - another fantastic, splendid piece eric!

wow, I really think we can all relate to this at one point in our life... I often sit alone and just wish that I could be 7 again... everything eas good then you could be whatever you wanted to be and no one cared about how you looked...

Really nice stuff.
So many people don't even have the basics as far as poetry is concerned...but this looks great. I like the symbolism too...and yes it is gone in a blink of an eye.

Yea that poem is laced with childhood memories. I find that nostalgia sells really well. Like as soon as people forget about something, especially something cool like nintendo's, thats when the businesses rake in the nostalgia factor. For instance, I commented on Super Mario Bros. and i just realized that I was playing the same exact game only a tad bit newer on my game boy advance...and mine is the nes edition...man....buisinesses love nostalgia. well ponder and get back to me

Oh I agree. You can see it on Ebay. Things that people are going to be emotionally attached to are going to sell for more than they are actually worth, so people will get on these bidding sprees and work hard to out do the other, again emotions playing a factor because nobody wants to lose. But then its not just the object on the line. People will bid because they are already emotional, and winning the item justifies their emotional vulerability.
Um, nostalgia fits in there somewhere. Heh.

hah...its funny that I wrote that yesturday, because I just bought a super nintendo/1 controler & uniracers for a total of $40...I suppose it was worth that to me, because of the emotional attatchment. Thank God I haven't gotten involved with ebay...I would have no money at all. That is all.
Good day,
Eric

Oh, I know it.
I was selling comic books and I would end up buying more than I sold...so much for profit.

Aw... You capture mindsets and emotions so expertly. Wonderful job. (And did you mean "precocious" instead of "precautious"? I'm not sure precautious is a word...)
