This was a very special session personalized to show off Emily’s personality and love for language arts. We collaboratively came up with the scenes that you’re about to view. One portion was inspired by a poem that she has had published twice titled, Balloon Catchers. I’m so honored to have been a part of such a fun and creative session. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
We were the balloon catchers
The tree jumpers
And bread carriers
We were the coat pocket hide-n-go-seek sunshine pals
We were the cat walkers
Boy kissers
Close line hanging dirty-kneed trousers
We were the satin cigarette on the tip of your fabricated tongue
We were the toad capturers
Drum beaters
And flower crown crafting field runners
We were the carriage pushing crocheted baby blanket thinkers
We were the picnic havers
Pipe smokers
Bunk bed whispering wing flappers
We were the paint brush whisking tulips of your withered garden
You are the war fighters
Love hunters
And pumpkin patch hand holders
You are the carnival going popcorn smile throwers
You are the music dancers
Shadow livers
Picture taking flower pickers
You are the world fixing babies of our destruction
Here’s the world, child
Don’t mind the bruises
