    poetry by Michael F. Nyiri



    Sweet Kimberly’s Smile



    At six or seven years of age,
    My poem book not yet counted a page.
    Wistful days spent in wileful way
    Summer sun glowing on children at play
    Grass seemed greener then, sky deeper blue
    Lie under an oak, remove sock and shoe
    Wiggle my toes in the tall summer grass
    Mem’ry brings back these bright days of my past


    The funny cartoons and kitty cats fill
    My time with sweet peace, and Pooh on the hill
    Not yet waving goodbye, but hi hello to all
    The days grow much longer in memory’s thrall
    Nothing difficult seemed, all’s easy and fun
    Gath’ring time stops the sand, and through meadows I run
    The world is a wonderful world far away
    Experience fills as the time of the day


    When life’s in bloom in younger times
    No need for pain or for hunger. Climbs
    The peaceful rest of naivete born
    Naught a thought is fraught with fate forlorn
    Play filled up my days and nights
    Eradicating all false fears and frights
    Wiggle my toes in my memory’s field
    Before life chips away at my own childlike shield



    At six or seven years of age,
    I hadn’t yet written my life on the page
    I still read sweet words of my bright happy muse
    Nothing could stop imagination I use
    Full filling fulfilled, with deep care in her eyes
    A young lass appeared under transcendent skies
    My youth fell in love which transcends all the while
    I will always remember Sweet Kimberly’s smile
