Tattered Ears
Form: Sonnetina Quatro
Theme: Death
Subject: Toys from Childhood
A memory of the lost and found
Hidden by years of growing up
Now easily recalled without a sound
In the form of an old plushie pup
The child I was left lying on the ground
With tattered ears and all beat-up
And there in the attic, I start to cry
A toy you gave me so long ago
Now my tears fall asking why
Yet I can smile too as memories flow
