for Shirley Temple
she curtsies
in a heap
innocence picked up
righted
I'm so grateful for the smile
A blessed Thanksgiving to all who travel here. I am thankful for you.

Awww. Sweet. Used to watch her films as a little kid. I think you've captured something universal in a child's ability to not dwell, to move on and almost immediately return to joy.
ReplyDeleteKay, your allusive title adds emotional weight to the poem.
